I moved from windows and I dont know how to disable devices on my laptop.
For example I have two wireless cards, one integrated and one USB, i dont use integrated one so I would like to disable it, but I cant find that enywhere.
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.
I have been using Fedora for about two years. I love it except one thing: I can not get used to SELinux. SELinux in Fedora evolves rapidly and it is not uncommon that an updated SELinux breaks up other things. So here is my question: is it really useful for a desktop which doesn't have a whole bunches of services running except OpenSSH? I am deciding whether to disable SELinux for good.
I still have this lingering problem and cannot use SELinux I recently installed Fedora 18, however I cannot see the SELinux icon on the application desktop so therefore I cannot make all the adjustments I want.
There is also no icon for the SELinux manager Icons so I can turn on certain Security Measures or disable them.
Would appreciate any help
Many Thanks
Charlie
I tried to boot from a Fedora 12 installation DVD. My machine configuration is:
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-965P-DS4
Display Card: X300 PCI-E 128MB
After the "Welcome to Fedora 12!" screen, I then click on either:
Install or upgrade an existing system
[or]
Install system with basic video driver

I've posted before in other threads on this subject. Reading other threads, there is obviously a problem with the detection of touchpads, seemingly both ALPS and Synaptic.
I'm running an Acer Aspire 5738z and I'm really more than a little pi55ed at not being able to turn on " Disable while typing". I've got a fresh install of 9.10
