Hi,
I've seen some posts on forums regarding this (or something like it) but I can't see any resolution.
Model is L455D-S5976.
I can't seem to get the WiFi card to work. I upgraded to F16 from F14 to see if that would work.
I see the orange/red light on for WiFi but I can't seem to get it to be recognized in Fedora. Fn-8 key doesn't help. It seems to be on but can't join because there is no Wireless network capabilities. The wired network works fine.
I went sniffing around fro drivers but I can't seem to find anything.
Any thoughts? Thanks.
Best, William

That's real bad news. :/

Can you please give us the output of "lspci | egrep -i wireless"?

I myself have a broadcom that works with drivers from RPMFusion[1]. I don't know a lot about Toshiba. The output I requested will give us more info.

You could try the users mailing list[2], which sees a lot more traffic than this one. You can also try ask.fedoraproject.org[3].

I'll try that if I don't the answer here. But I have a good feeling ;-)

Too funny. So I found a page which describes using ndiswrapper etc. And I followed the instructions. Pity it waits to the end to say the process only works with XP/98 drivers. I had used the Win7X86 driver. How do I undo ndiswrapper so that I can try again with the XP driver? I just tried performing the instructions again but of course it tells me the driver is already installed.

I just mailed you the solution, you can let the ndiswrapper approach be. :)

Ah! I think I know this one ;)
Set up rpmfusion repositories and install the kmod-staging package. That should do it. I recently set my EEEPc up and it uses the same hardware iirc. :)
yum install kmod-staging
This is the question on askfedora: http://ask.fedoraproject.org/question/708/solved-how-do-i-get-the-wireless-o...
Outstanding! Thank you very much. Great job.
