wlan (wpa)

[vels]

Hi

I have install a frech Fedora 8.

Fedora have found my wlan card. But I can't find any places to choose witch type of auth my wireless lan use (WPA)??

I have read something about "Network manager",how do I start "network manager"?

Is it possibel to get the wlan to start up auto on boot?

Yes but I would make sure of one thing. Have you made a connection to the router?
If not and is because of the WPA setting then I suggest turning off WPA and make a connection. Once you can do that then re-enable WPA. Now I don;t use NetworkManager for reason because of hardware I use. I can only setup manually and then it auto starts on its own. Which module does the nic use?

If you installed F8, NM was installed and activated by default. The NM icon should be in the top panel. Left click the icon and go from there....

On my two laptop installs from a fedora kde live CD the Network Manager Service has not been enabled by default, though it was on the livecd desktop.

If this should be the case here then start the "Services" applet from the menu or:

system-config-services

from the command line.

NetworkManager is at the top of the list. Mark it and there are buttons to start it and save the changes so it starts at boot.

You may need to look then for your network manager applet in the menu system to convince it to start. I did with KDE.
