I would recommend upgrading your machine to Fedora Core 4 [0] and trying NetworkManager[1] for using WiFi networks. There is a thread about the Atheros 5212 [2] on the NetworkManager list [3] that might help you out once you are up and running.=20 Cheers, ~ Bryan [0] http://fedora.redhat.com/ [1] http://people.redhat.com/dcbw/NetworkManager/ [2] http://mail.gnome.org/archives/networkmanager-list/2004- November/msg00085.html [3] http://mail.gnome.org/archives/networkmanager-list/ --=-e5WVgmnXtOrsGHs6hFr0 Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 TRANSITIONAL//EN"> <HTML> <HEAD> <META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; CHARSET=UTF-8"> <META NAME="GENERATOR" CONTENT="GtkHTML/3.3.2"> </HEAD> <BODY> On Mon, 2004-12-27 at 16:06 -0800, Fernando Arturo Gómez Flores wrote: <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE> <PRE> <FONT COLOR="#000000">I bough the RedHat 9 Linux distribution.
