FC4 & wireless

[hammerhead]

Hi All,

Linux newbie and need some help with wireless connectivity...

My Wireless network setup:
Network Type: Infrastructure Mode
Channel: Automatic channel setting
Security: WEP - 128bit

Problem is here...

Wireless Connectivity in FC4:
Network Type: ??? Managed???
Channel: ??? There is no selection for Automatic...
Security: ??? Cannot set? only enter password?

My wireless card is working... what should I do? is there a module that can be installed to better facilitate this connectivity? it appears to me that FC4 wireless connectivity is pretty limited... or am I wrong? :eek:

If you already have gotten your wireless card working I assumed you know how to change these settings...

When setting up your network, you should specify which SSID you want to connect to, and enter your WEP key. Select the proper channel your AP is on (I do not believe there is an option for autodetection - though I could be wrong about this), and select "managed" under network type.

Note: XXX is a replacement done by me. The original information is correct. i believe that the authetication to the AP is having problems... the AP info is correct... :confused:
