My EeePC hasn't been used since my last holiday, so today did a huge update 
from the new-key servers.  At the end of it, networking needed to be set up 
again.  I never had wireless working under Fedora, but I know others do, and 
this is now quite important to me, as I shall be moving around for a couple of 
weeks.

This is an original EeePC 701.  I thought that I had read that I need ath5k 
for driver, but I can't find that on the repos.  Can someone please advise me 
as to which package I actually need, and, if necessary, where to find it?

The info on the wiki looks quite out of date, so if anyone knows a better how-
to I'd like to read that, as well.

Anne

Yes, worked (eventually, after mirrors updated)

The trick is to use
yum --enablerepo=updates-testing-newkey,kde-unstable clean metadata

Run into a 404 error otherwise (old metadata neither cleaned nor
renewed, new files on server).

I *think* the madwifi driver/pkgs from livna (or rpmfusion) should help 
there.

Thanks Rex.  That looks promising - at leastI can complete the configuration 
now.  However, now I've removed the network cable, I can't see any way to 
activate the wifi connection.  In view of all that's been said in the past I'm 
reluctant to using system-config-network, unless you tell me that I should do 
:-)

If the driver is working properly, then nm-applet (NetworkManager 
applet) thingy should show available access points, and such.

I was afraid of that :-(  I'll try the eeepc-user forums.  Thanks

Rex, in an attempt to resolve this I checked what kernels I have installed, 
and found that the latest was 2.6.24-45, so I installed the kernel-devel to 
match, thinking that might have been the problem.  However, uname tells me 
that I'm still running 2.6.25-14.  Grub doesn't allow me to select a kernel in 
the way a normal install does.  I'm seriously wondering whether I need to wipe 
this install (which started from a live CD) and do a normal disk install 
instead.  

Do you think that my problems may stem from trying to do something that the 
live CD isn't intended to do?  Since there is an install option I had assumed 
that once I ran updates it would then act like any other system, but it seems 
it isn't so.
