[ltp] wireless networking

[Peter F. Patel-Schneider]

I have persevered and gotten networking to work well on my T60p under Fedora Core 6.

It simply was a matter of turning on the Network Manager after loading the correct driver as described in  <http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Installing_Fedora_Core_6_on_a_ThinkPad_T60>
http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Installing_Fedora_Core_6_on_a_ThinkPad_T60

I started NetworkManager via:

/sbin/chkconfig --level 345 NetworkManager on
/sbin/chkconfig --level 345 NetworkManagerDispatcher on
/sbin/service NetworkManager start 
/sbin/service NetworkManagerDispatcher start
 
I expect that the services GUI would work as well.


I can now switch between wired and wireless and use WPA-encryption.

I have done the work described at
http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Installing_Fedora_Core_6_on_a_ThinkPad_T60
and gotten to the point of having eth1 working.  However, my home 
wireless uses the new encryption, which does not appear to be supported.
