Take the 2-minute tour ×  I've been using Fedora 13 for around
six months, but only with a wired connection in my room. I took
my laptop to a college library that has Wifi, but when I turn my
system on it doesn't detect any wireless networks at all. What
could be the problem? How do I fix it?  share|improve this
question Are you using network-manager? Is your wireless button
turned on? –  Tshepang Nov 10 '10 at 12:39 @Tshepang: I don't
know how to do it. PLease let me know –  Chandrasekhar Nov 10

(Fn+something or a program) switch to enable the wifi, so first
make sure you've turned it on. For better help, edit your
question to add the exact model of your laptop and describe how
you configured the wired connection. Also, if you have an
interface component (a tray button, maybe) that lets you
configure the network, describe it and tell us what your
interface is (e.g. Gnome, KDE, ...). –  Gilles Nov 10 '10 at
