    Access internet setting in Linux

    Hello,
    I have a problem for several months to gain access to manage my internet connection settings. The computer is an Acer Aspire One with Fedora. Before there was a kind of simplified interface, but I changed to xfce. (But there is also gnome and kde) I tried typing NetworkManager commands in linux, but did not understood what was wrong. And all ifconfig commands etc. I do not know how to make this configuration of how to access the internet setting in linux. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Re: internet setting problem in linux

    Hello,
    Maybe your wireless card has taken a hit in the wing if it's not working right since the fall. You tried to see if it was always recognized? Make a
    Code:
    lspci
    to see that (I hope that this command also works in Fedora, I'm on Ubuntu). Give us this posters
    Code:
    ifconfig-a.
    If you have any more queries then feel free to post here and also if you find any thing abnormal in your operating system then post here it will help us solve your problem.

    Hello,
    Makes a
    Code:
    sudo iwlist wlan0 scan.
    If the network is that your card is doing well. So then you can try to solve your problem with the heart net. However, you know you can always connect the command line. If you're interested I can tell you. By cons, if you feel too novice for that, reinstall the network manager. I think reinstalling the network manager will surely solve your problem.

    Hello,
    He is in fedora, so it's not saying that sudo is configured as it should.
    Rather, the command should be something like this
    Code:
    su
    iwlist wlan0 scan
    If this does not work, then you can post back with the error you are getting. After with yum you can reinstall the network manager in fedora, but you must have a graphical interface for a menu Gerrer packages , this is just an example.

    Hello,
    The physical address (HWaddr) of wifi0 is much too long to match a MAC address (for cons, the first 6 pairs correspond to the MAC address of ath0). wifi0 is the control interface of the wireless card (actually I'm not sure what name to give this kind of interfaces, but their usefulness does not concern ) In short, the commands you should have to ask you to type the following:
    Code:
    su --
    iwlist ath0 scan

    Hello,
    In short, the commands you should have to ask you to type the following:
    Code:
    su --
    iwlist ath0 scan
    Even more better solution would be something like this
    Code:
    su --
    iwlist scan
    That way there's no searching for the wireless card. I hope you are getting the points clearly here and you will find a way out.
