If there is a device there, it would be named something like "wlan0". If you don't see a device, then the wireless adapter wasn't installed correctly. If you do see the device, you might want to try "ifconfig wlan0 up" and see what happens in dmesg by tying "dmesg" in the terminal. I would imagine that if everything worked okay, you would see the networks in network manager. Another command that you can run is "iwlist scan" to scan for any networks within range. These are all suggestions. It'll be up to you to figure out the rest...

I'm glad they finally released some decent touchpad drivers. The pommed fix worked for me also, but I had to install tons of packages. Wish I had written them down to share.

I've not gotten that working, and I'm wondering if it is because I am not using GNOME. Any thoughts? P.S. – Are you able to use the volume buttons to control sound?

I'm back to Fedora 11 now after a month of Ubuntu 9.04 since I saw here yesterday that the trackpad works in Fedora now. AWESOME. Also, I think you will have better results with the graphics if you leave livna-config-display enabled and don't mess with the xorg.conf file. Following your guide results in a 1280x768 screen with no direct (hardware) rendering, whereas livna-config-display gives a proper 1280x800 screen with direct rendering enabled (and consequently a _much_ higher framerate). Last thing, Ubuntu does have sound working, but it's done by manually patching and recompiling alsa every time you update your kernel - I think that what we have in Fedora is better in the end. Thanks again! --Stick Derek-

That's why I published this guide. Unfortunately, I don't have an answer to your question. It took me a couple of tries to get the sound working. Try a reboot or two and see what happens.
