I was able to get my wireless card to work by installing the Intel® PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Driver for Linux

Everything is running smoothly now.

A little bit of reading and some testing lead me to the fix for my Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller:

modprobe snd-hda-intel model=3stack

All good. Restart and it works.

All is going well. I’m writing this from firefox on linux on my laptop. The install went great.

The setup is fine other than my wifi card not working out of the box. Its an Intel 3945ABG. I know exactly what needs to happen to make it work and I’m in the process of doing it now.

As with nearly every linux intall that I’ve done, my sound is not working…. yet… but I’m confident that I will get it working quickly. This is probably the most common desktop linux problem after intsall but not once have I ended up with truly unsupported hardware. I can always seem to get it to work.

I hooked up eth0 and ran yum update. Next I need to get the drivers for my wifi card.

I’ll post again in a little while.

Right now the packages are installing on my laptop and I’m writing this from another machine. So far the install has had no trouble. Wireless mouse working, usb hdd recognized etc etc. No problems so far.
