Re: driveloader and WEP - unable to connect with ENCRYPTION (e.g. WEP) on

Hi,

you can do it that way under Fedora but with newer Fedora releases (6 =

and up), we recommend that you configure the wireless interface using =

Network Manager instead. Network Manager is the "network" icon in your =

system tray, click on it to configure the wireless interface with it.
