You still have about 24 hours to wait, I'm afraid! http://fedora.redhat.com/participate/schedule/ Craig

I bought Sony VAIO laptop K-415B and installed there Mandriva LE 2005. Everything is ok, just cannot make connection via Wi-Fi. Seemes that there is problem with driver or something like that, cuz it doesnot recognize wifi. Does anybody have experience with sony vaio or how to solve this? I am just new user of Linux (just since february this year), so i dont really know how to solve this problem. Thanx Ed. ___________________________________________________________ Yahoo!

I don't have experience with Sony Vaio but do have experience with wireless. When you say you cannot make connection can you give a few more details: - what wireless network card does this machine have? (You may need to look at manual to find out easily) - are you trying to use no security, WEP or WPA? (i.e. what are you trying to connect to) - does it work in Windows if you still have that on the machine? - can you give any error messages? Ian

Network card is Atheros Communications Inc. AR 5213 802,11 a/b/g Wireless Adapter. Mandriva LE 2005 recognize it as this in devices, but when i try to make new connection it fails. I also cannot configure it anyhow in devices. Does not recognize it automaticly and when i use manualy driver ath_pci after choosing this one it sends me back to beginning of seting up process. I tried other drivers as well, but same result. Anyway this ath_pci driver should work as i found information on internet. And i even tried Suse 9.3 Live DVD distro, where it works. With same driver (ath_pci). Tried also Ubuntu 5.04 with similar result as with Mandriva. (It does not recognize even device). Wifi works perfectly with windows xp. I use this laptop in home network with wireless benklin router. If i should use ndiswrapper, how should i set it up, or how does it work? No experience with that. Thanx for any help. Edo. ___________________________________________________________ Yahoo! Messenger - NEW crystal clear PC to PC calling worldwide with voicemail http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com

I've set up an atheros card under debian sarge. These cards need a kernel module (driver) that has a binary-only component, which in practice means that it isn't part of the official kernel, and is often distributed separately. If you try ubuntu again, you need to install an extra package containing these extra kernel modules - "linux-restricted-modules". I have no experience with Mandriva. The WLUG Wiki has a fair bit of information about setting up and trouble-shooting wireless. Try http://www.wlug.org.nz/WirelessChipsets and http://www.wlug.org.nz/WirelessSetupNotes However, these pages describe doing everything from the command-line, as that works across all distributions. You distribution might have its own fancy method for installing modules and setting things up through some graphical setup tool. John

I have updated these pages slightly to give a link to WPA Supplicant if you are using WPA (which I hope you are!!) and also to document that ndiswrapper doesn't always work with later versions. Ian
