Fedora8 is easy to use WLAN

When I used Ubuntu, I always liked the features of WLAN without configuring it. I just needed to click a few mouse clicks on the NIC configuration and wireless network selection. In fact, it is not difficult to get this in Fedora8. First, yumupdate, update the kernel (which can better support my Intel3945A/B/gnic), and then open the NetworkManager and NetworkManagerDispatcher services. Familiar network connections in Ubuntu

When I used Ubuntu, I always liked the features of WLAN without configuring it. I just needed to click a few mouse clicks on the NIC configuration and wireless network selection. In fact, it is not difficult to get this in Fedora 8. First, yum update, update the kernel (which can better support my Intel3945A/B/gnic), and then open the NetworkManager and NetworkManagerDispatcher services. The familiar network connection icon in Ubuntu appears in the upper right corner. It's really nice.

For drivers, iwora 8 uses iwl3945 instead of ipw3945, which has always been used before. It is an open-source driver and runs well. But there is a small problem that it does not drive the wireless indicator, that is, there is no way to see the wireless situation from the indicator.

But it's just a small problem.
