Fedora 9 on hold
While have gotten the wireless working on F9, I’ve had some issues with the color depth and touchpad. As a result I’ve digressed and am using F8 until someone more experienced can come up with a fix. Meanwhile, I’m going to dualboot gNewSense. It has the some of the same goals as the Fedora Project so I want to check it out too!
As far as the wireless guide is concerned, one must click some different buttons in the service dialog and add a new Wireless card in the network configuration(System>Administration>Network). The last task needs to be performed before the reboot. you can find it at the Fedora Docs section
