We need some detailed information before we can help you troubleshoot it. Read through the stickied post, linked to below. It describes how to find the information that we need. Wireless Setup - Start Here RHEL is not know for having very good wireless support. It has no wireless connection manager, so I recommend installing Wicd. wicd - home __________________ Paul Please do not PM me with requests for help. I will not reply.
