Fedora includes some wireless firmware and methods to install closed-source firmware. NetworkManager automatically functions with the drivers that you installed in Fedora.
The following wireless drivers are available in the Fedora repositories:
If you need any of these drivers, install the software using PackageKit by going to Applications > Add/Remove Software or use the command line. For example, to install the iwl3945 firmware:
su -c 'yum install iwl3945'
You can search for software by going to the search tab in PackageKit or by using the command line. For example, to search for the orinoco software:
su -c 'yum search orinoco'
Note
A current bug with some of the firmware is that the wireless light is not enabled, this does not mean the wireless card is turned off
