This is a problem that I have not been able to figure out on my own so far. I ran Fedora Core 3 on this 9200 laptop previously, and could not get the internal wifi NIC to work. I thought I would have better luck in FC4, but instead I still can't get the internal wifi NIC to work AND I have lost sound as well. To recap... For the internal wifi NIC, I installed FC4, all went fine, the installed 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4 kernel comes with the ipw2200 driver I guess, so I installed the firmware RPM (ipw2200-firmware-2.3-2.fc) and rebooted as directed. All documentation I have found says that the New Hardware dialog box should come up after this reboot, but I have yet to ever see this dialog box. The system comes back up, but no new hardware is found. I can "modprobe ipw2200" and the module is loaded, but not sure what else I can do from that point. This is about the end of what I know about Linux interals and troubleshooting hardware issues on it. Linux is so good about autodetecting hardware nowadays, I have forgotten what to do when it doesn't work. So, any suggestions on what I might be missing or what I can do to make FC4 recognize this NIC would be greatly appreciated. For the sound, I'm completely stumped. It worked fine in FC3, and the device was detected correctly I think, and volume is up, I think everything checks out, but no sound: [root@localhost ~]# lsmod | grep -i snd snd_intel8x0m 19589 0 snd_intel8x0 34689 1 snd_ac97_codec 75961 2 snd_intel8x0m,snd_intel8x0 Where can I check for any errors? Thanks!
