I have been unable to use the wireless adapter on my laptop since
installing Fedora 15. When using the network dialog from Gnome 3's
System Settings, The wireless is listed as "Unavailable" but the MAC
address is displayed. Also the Airplane Mode is "On".
Any suggestions on what I need to do to get Fedora 15 to use my wireless
adapter? Is anyone else having similar problems?
My laptop is running 64 bit Fedora 15, Gnome 3 and has an Intel Centrino
Advanced-N 6230 wireless/bluetooth adapter. I am not seeing the
bluetooth adapter either.
Also, what is this new "Airplane Mode" that I cannot disable for very
long. It keeps coming back on by itself. Is the Airplane Mode blocking
transmissions from the laptop or is it only reporting that none are
being sent?
This laptop was originally installed with Windows 7 and the wireless
adapter worked fine.
Looking at dmesg, I can see that the Wireless adapter is detected and it
looks like the fiirmware was loaded.
