But I decided to wipe my drive to get rid of the strange partitioning scheme I had going. So I re-installed Fedora 10, and set-up my wireless. This time, I went straight to the RaLink site for the drivers and such for my RT2860 chip. Actually, had a far easier time getting it going with this driver! lsmod shows modules getting loaded on boot. I have the wireless card set to activate on start-up with DHCP. Also controlled by Network Manager. Here is the output of dmesg \| grep firmware: Code: firmware: requesting intel-ucode/06-0f-0d firmware: requesting intel-ucode/06-0f-0d However, every time I re-boot or lock the screen, I lose internet connection. Simple enough to just restart the network, but I would prefer not to have to. Any tips? __________________ Jay Forum Rules Registered Linux User #463940 Not every story has an ending... but they all have more chapters.
