It did. Until a second reboot. Then they came back. In /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-, is there a HWADDR=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx line? A that point, I'd consider filing a bug. John Linville handles the wireless stuff, and he's usually been pretty responsive. The problem is, I don't know what the problem is, so don't know what to file. It probably doesn't make too much difference, in the sense that wherever you file, you'll get help troubleshooting. If none of the connectivity tools leads to a connection, I'd probably start with the kernel (Linville's beat), suspecting that it's a wireless driver issue. It can always be reassigned later if troubleshooting leads you to some other component. Probably not a bad idea. Yes, there is a HWADDR= line. And it matches with the address that shows up in dmesg. I noticed you're at Clemson. I was down there last month for CIDays. The campus is much prettier than I remember the last time I was there. (Which, sadly, was the Fumble-rooski Bobby Bowden pulled against you.) Well, I figured since I was having trouble getting wireless on my F8 desktop, that I would go ahead and upgrade to F9. Was not as pleasant an experience as all my previous upgrades have been, however. On my first attempt to upgrade the system hung right at the end of the install process causing me to start over. Fortunately, the second try finished the process correctly and I could boot into F9 fine. X didn't come up clean, but a reconfig of the display fixed that. Something I've /never/ had to do on previous upgrades. However, from the CLI my wireless card came up beautifully manually, including using a static IP address. For some reason dhcp6c didn't get me an IP address from the AP. Weird. Anyway, now I'm really wondering, why the hell are there so many F8 rpms still left on this box? I use no 3rd party repos at all on this system since most everything I need is in the standard repo. I upgraded using the F9 DVD so it wasn't like nearly everything wasn't available from the install media. So, for now, I'm happy, I have wireless back on this box. I'll let you know how it works after maintenance and some reboots. Thanks to everyone for all the help. As always, the Fedora list is the best one around. -- Libenter homines id quod volunt credunt -- Caius Julius Caesar Mark Haney Sr. Systems Administrator ERC Broadband (828) 350-2415 Call (866) ERC-7110 for after hours support -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list

You wrote, "For some reason dhcp6c didn't get me an IP address from the AP." That sounded like you didn't know why. If the device doesn't support IPv6, it's not going to work through it. If some device in your network does support it (e.g. a router), but your DHCP server doesn't, then IPv6 can be used on the network, but you'd need something else to assign it an address. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ uname -r 2.6.25.6-55.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.

Okay, maybe I"m the idiot here. dhcp6c is the IPv6 dhcp client right? Okay, that being the case, what app does Fedora use get an IP from a dhcp server? On my laptop it's dhcpcd, but Fedora doesn't have that nor anything close to that OTHER than dhcp6c which is why I mentioned it. I thought that was just a regular dhcp client that (possibly) handled ipv6 as well (hence the 6 in the name). Obviously I was wrong and should RTFM more often.

For IPv6, Fedora, as any Linux, can use ip6-autoconfiguration to get IPv6 address and gateway. Autoconf need no dhcp6 nor any other daemon on client. -- Tomasz Torcz -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
