Wifi problem, Your attention Please
When I run "iwlist wlan0 scan" It shows the AP and the signal stregth etc.
But when I use my networkmanager to make my Wlan active, it fails.
Knetworkmanager is not working(I dont know why)??
Plz tell me how do i configure my wifi. I installed FC8 with the hope of wifi. Now my wifi driver is OK but still unlucky.....
Plz help.....
This WIFI has really taken me down...
edit:
I have intel duo core2 so that is why i am using 86_64 instead of i386.
tell me if this is the problem

There is a chance that you need to have firmware loaded for the wireless to work. But first, more information about the wireless is needed. Enter this into a terminal and post the output.
Code:/sbin/lspci
Code:dmesg

Before you start chasing down problems with wpa_supplicant, you need to know the make of your wireless chipset. Please post the output of the commands that I asked for in my previous post.

ok i worked out a lot. There is nothing wrong with the wpa service. I got the network manager in the panel. That manger is even showing the wireless networks in range. but when i ask to connect to the AP, it keep on asking the WPA key from me. I have noticed that when it takes the key from me, It sends it to the AP but the AP does'nt responds, because the upper green light of the network manager never goes green, it always remains gray. Well the out put of dmesg that is related to the wlan is given below. Thank you very much for helping me out. I think I am very close to using internet in My lovely FC8
