Created attachment 421435 [details] system-config-network Maybe related to bug 583113 but this is different computer. Just installed Fedora 13. Maybe I'm missing something important here but this use to work just fine with f12. [root@localhost network-scripts]# more ifcfg-wlan0 # Atheros Communications Inc.

I run system-config-network as root. btw, usb memory stick doesen't auto mount so sofar f13 is worse than f12 :(
You probably have to set NM_CONTROLLED to "no" (you can also do this in the s-c-n GUI by unchecking "Controlled by NetworkManager").
Ah, yes now I can activate wlan. But it just doesn't work. Error org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerSettings.InvalidConnection: ifcfg file '/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-wlan0' unknown Error org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerSettings.InvalidConnection: ifcfg file '/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-wlan0' unknown Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) : SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument. Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A) : SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument. Determining IP information for wlan0... failed; no link present. Check cable? Funny that it asks to check cable for wireless connection ;)
Basically my problem now is I can't connect to wlan with hidden SSID.
Can you grab the output of 'lsmod' to see what kernel driver your device uses? Hidden SSIDs are somewhat tricky since they can't be autodetected easily.
Created attachment 424246 [details] output of lsmod Driver is ath5k. I couldn't connect with my laptop either, it uses b43. Though I just bought new ADSL modem right before I installed F13. F12 could connect to hidden SSID but that was with different ADSL modem. The old one acted weird so I needed new. Now that I think of it, this new one must be working somehow differently. At least Windows Vista could connect to even with hidden SSID. This is D-Link DSL 2640B Wireless G ADSL2+ modem router. http://www.dlink.com/products/?pid=567
