Back in September, I cried for joy that wireless worked out of the box in F9, even if it was only 2 bars out of 4, inches away from the wireless router, and surmised that this might be due to a presumed lack of Ndiswrapper in the Fedora kernel, expecially since a plain old vanilla kernel downloaded from kernel.org gave me 4 bars. The number of bars and signal strength on my PIII 450 laptop varies from about 10% (zero bars but still connected) to about whatever 2 bars represents. On rare occasion I get 4 bars, which usually drops back down in seconds.<\/p>\n
Under F11, things seem to be the same. No complaints.<\/p>\n
Seems that I might not haven Fedora enough credit, if you can believe it.<\/p>\n
On my new Acer Aspire One, I have 4 bars, all the time. And it’s about a foot or two further from the router than the PIII 450.<\/p>\n
So it seems that it could be my card, the drivers available, and the age of the technology.<\/p>\n
Good going Fedora!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
