Ello people of the wonderful world of fedora.
Looks like i have finally found a forum that has more than 2 users logged in and viewing.
So here is my issue. Under network device control it says that my wireless is inactive. so i try to activate it and it says activation failed. I have the madwifi drivers and what not. The only way i have gotten it to work is when my boss came in and used some command line program to create a wlan0 link and attach it to my wifi0 device. But if i restart my laptop or turn it off, i have to recreate all those settings again and i have no idea how to do that. I have read the other thread named "fedora 8 and wireless" and i have noticed there is no way for it to automatically connect. I think the program is wlanconfig or something like that. my question is how do i use that or what is the easiest way to get wifi to work. I have MAC filtering and WEP turned on.
