Dear Fedora gurus,
I am facing problem in configuring the wifi on my laptop. I installed Fedora 8 [(Linux version 2.6.23.1-42.fc8 (kojibuilder@xenbuilder2.fedora.redhat.com)] on my Acer Aspire 5920 Laptop. I am finding it bit tricky to setup my wifi correctly.
Looks like I am able to connect to wifi temporarily and the wireless router assigns IP address also, but immediately after that, it gets disconnected. Here are the messages from /var/log/messages file:
I am main concerned why it is loosing IP address after getting it.
I am kind of stuck with this in mind and need some help. Please guide what I can do to configure wifi.
