Do you have the wpasupplicant package installed?   You will need it
assuming your AP is set to WPA/WPA2.

Your device is being recongnized o/w you would not have seen "wlan0"
 You will have to play around with the wpasupplicant utilities and the
settings in the files for wlan0 in /etc/sysconfig/network directories
(IIRC)  - I have not used Fedora for quite a while so the above dir
path is a recollection.

In Debian 6.0, I have the following setup for my netbook with an
Atheros Communications Inc. AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01).

/etc/network/interfaces  (for WPA2 with ssid visible)

auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wpa-driver wext
wpa-ssid 
wpa-ap-scan 1
wpa-proto RSN
wpa-pairwise CCMP
wap-group CCMP
wpa-key-mgmt WPA-PSK
wpa-psk   (see below)

# cat /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf  (generated using wpa_passphrase)
network={
ssid=""
#psk="your pass phrase"
psk=
}

RHCE will give you knowledge about system administration for RHEL/Fedora only.

Personally, I suggest you should get your basic fundamentals right by
getting your hands "dirty" with at least three major distributions in
the market place.   I conduct Linux Sys/Network admin workshops and
let the students "experiment" with various distros
(Debian/openSUSE/CentOS)  in Virtual Box environment.

[PLUG] Can not use the wireless network in Fedora 15

2011-08-19 Thread Chaitany Kulkarni
The out put of ifup:
ifup wlan0

Determining IP information for wlan0... failed; no link present.  Check
cable?

I have installed rfkill and unblocked all interfaces. now rfkill list shows
1: ideapad_wlan: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
2: ideapad_bluetooth: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
3: acer-wireless: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: yes
Hard blocked: no
4: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: yes
9: hci0: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no

now dmesg output have a last line like
ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready

Now iwconfig shows
iwconfig
lono wireless extensions.

p8p1  no wireless extensions.

wlan0 IEEE 802.11bgn  ESSID:off/any
  Mode:Managed  Access Point: Not-Associated   Tx-Power=17 dBm
  Retry  long limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
  Encryption key:off
  Power Management:on

vboxnet0  no wireless extensions.

virbr0no wireless extensions.

ppp0  no wireless extensions.

It seems that it is trying to enable wlan0 but doesn't  succeed.
I have already turned on the wireless on another laptop. But still it
doesn't make any progress

Thanks,
Chaitany Kulkarni

Re: [PLUG] Can not use the wireless network in Fedora 15

2011-08-19 Thread Chaitany Kulkarni
Sorry for disturbing again.
But as per a suggestion from a forum, after running rmmod acer_wmi wireless
option get activated in network manager. But when modprobe is used it again
says unavailable. Is my problem related with mismatched driver?
Also kindly give some more info on the above commands.

Thanks and regards,
Chaitany Kulkarni
