[Discuss] Wireless on Laptop

[John Blomfield]

Hi Murray,

I have just run Fedora 8 Live KDE CD on my laptop again to make sure I 
am giving you the correct information, as my memory isn't what it used 
to be.  First the wireless icon I mentioned in the bottom right hand of 
the panel is initially a little "mouse" with a cross through it and a 
popup says there is no network connection.  If you right click it gives 
a popup with check boxes enabled for ethernet or wireless and these will 
probably be already enabled.  Now left double click on the icon and 
popup will display a list of wireless signals within range. Click the 
one you want and another popup will connect or pop up another dialog if 
an encription is required.  Type in your encription code and close and 
yet another pop up will ask you for a password for this connection.  
Type in any password you want, it does not have to be your root or 
encription code, it has nothing to do with these, it is just for storage 
in the "keyring" or kwallet.  Hope this now all works!

I have also checked that plugging in a Pen drive can be access when 
running a Live CD and it can.  So you can save your data there.
