Hi, guys:
I have been with Fedora for a while but just got exposure to it. right now I have a Fedora 7 with my laptop. I am trying to set up myself as a sudoer in the /etc/sudoers file. However, I do not know where and how I should edit in the file because when opening the etc/sudoers using vi, I was just confused. Can anyone give me some guidance?
another issue is my wireless NIC does not work correctly under Fedora 7. my laptop is a Dell Inspiron 6000 with a IPW 2200 BG wireless card. Under Applications/Internet/Network Device Control, I can see I have 3 devices, eth1, eth0.bak, and eth1.bak. among them, eth1 and eth1.bak is active, but eth0.bak is inactive. I am guessing eth0.bak is the wireless one. when punching command lspci | grep 2200 in a terminal, I got the result "03:03.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection (rev 05)". when using command dmesg | grep 2200, I got

From command lsmod |grep 2200, I got nothing. can anyone give me some detail guidance for how to fix this issue?
help! (thanks)
