I just got my wireless network card working in Fedora 9. Here's the weird problem I'm experiencing though. When I log in as a user, the network card will not automatically connect to my network. However, if I start sys-config-network, log in as root, then double-click on the wlan interface, it starts up and everything works just fine even though I've changed nothing in the card's configuration. Does anyone know how to just have the wireless interface come up and start working without having to jump through hoops like that?

Dumb fedora (most do that now thanks to hackers). You have to allow that in some setting somewhere, like user permissions or something like that. "Best Practices", Event viewer, host file, perfmon, are in my top 10

Have you tried System < Administration < Services And checking that Wpa Supplicant is auto started? and also any other service that Your Wireless Connection depends on is Automatically started ,,, ??? MSI 845e mb 1 gb ram and a p4 2.4n running fedora 7 xp ,win 2000 advanced server and win 98 SE alot to learn and I know so little !!!!
