Hi psychobeauty,

the drivers for Intel WLAN cards are installed on Fedora 8 by default - there's no need to install another driver.

Please have a look at ...

Best regards,

Hi psychobeauty,

set a fixed value for the wireless channel in the router configuration and set the encryption to WPA/WPA2.
