Hey Guys,
Recently I bought a hp computer with vista installed. Later I shrinked vista to make room for my Fedora 7 installation. Installation was successful. However, both wired and wireless connection became problematic. The network adapter for wired connection is "realteck RTL8102E Family PCI-E Fast Ethernet NIC (NDIS 6.0)" and the adapter for the wireless connection is "Atheros AR5007 802.11b/g WiFi Adapter".
From the installation status under Fedora, I can see the wired adapter is active. But the connection is most of the time disconnected. The wireless connection never was active. I know I should choose to install the adapter driver, but since using the wired network became a problem, I have no way of install the driver. Any idea on how to solve the problems? Thanks
Wei Wen

Hey Guys,

Why Fedora 7?
Install Fedora 10 and see if your issues go away.
Fedora 7 is not supported and is over a year old.
