http://forums.fedoraforum.org – I hove bought a LogiLink Wireless LAN PCI Card. When I have installed it. My system now keeps freezing. So I took it out and everything is fine. I'm running Fedora 11. Is this card not supported. How well does Fedora 11 support wireless. I'll be getting a new Laptop soon with the intention of using wireless. Will I face the same problems? This is a big thing for me. So I need to know how well Fedora 11 supports wireless. So far it doesn't inspire confidence. Is there a hardware confliction? If so how do I resolve it? Thanks in advance. (HowTos)

Stories similar to Desktop Wireless PCI Card.

I just installed Fedora as a dual-boot (other OS in Win7) on my Dell Inspiron 1750 and, of course, the wireless card is missing firmware.

The wireless card is called Dell Wireless 1397 WLAN mini-card. When I run lspci on Fedora it says that the card is a BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY (rev 01).

I am at a dead-end here.

I have an ultra small form factor system here running Fedora 17. It has an rt73usb wireless B/G card inside. It's not a laptop - there is no wireless on/off switch on the front and no BIOS settings for wireless. It also has 5 wired NIC ports.

This box is a prototype for a small router/bridge/Access Point. That's why the 5 NIC slots and wireless.

My Fedora 17 laptop has a built-in Wireless PCIe card (RT3090), which is malfunctional.

I have a USB Wireless adapter that I use instead, and want to deactivate the PCIe.

On Windows, I could use the hardware switch to disable the inbuilt card, but this also disabled Bluetooth.

On Fedora, it seems to disable all the wireless hardware - my USB adapters (x3), the PCIe and the BT.

Hi all,

I'm currently dual booting Fedora and Win XP and my computer is right on the edge of my wireless network. I'm typing this from XP because while Fedora can see the wireless and can connect to it the speeds are so low that I can barely get to Google, let alone browse the internet or god forbid download a file. XP on the other hand can browse just fine.

In my Fedora 16 installation I've recently noticed that it tries to connect to wireless at boot (I have kernel messages turned on at boot so I can see it trying).

Strange Wireless Problem... 8 weeks 1 day ago

Hi,

I have a dual boot laptop ( HP i7 based ) It boots Fedora 18 and Win 7.

The problem is that the wireless on the Fedora side only connects at one megabit, but on the Win 7 side I get a consistent 140 megabits.

The wireless hardware is the Intel Centrino Wireless-N 2230 bgn combo blue tooth/ wireless card.

I have the iwlwifi-2030-6.ucode firmware installed in /usr/lib/firmware/

I just recently partitioned a laptop running widows 7 with Fedora 17. The wireless adapter on the computer is a DW1503 Wireless-N Half-Mini card. I am unable to get both wired and wireless connections when I boot to Fedora. When running an ifconfig I can see a p1p1 interface show up, but i'm not sure what that means either. Any Suggestions on what can be done?

At first look, out of the box support for the wireless card looked great! It even worked with the live cd. The problem began after the installation was done.

I have just installed fedora 17 on an external hdd via e-sata - the O/S comes up beautifully - the OS see's my at&t router which is a 2wire model - my internal wireless card is a:

Realteck RTL8188CE Wireless Lan 802.11 PCI-E NIC

Fedora prompts me for the pwd which I enter however it fails to connect am I doing something wrong -?
