Fedora Core 6 （FC6）下 WPA-PSK TKIP 加密上网。

NetworkManager provides automatic network detection and configuration for the system. Once enabled, the NetworkManager service also monitors the network interfaces, and may automatically switch to the best connection at any given time. Applications that include NetworkManager support may automatically switch between on-line and off-line modes when the system gains or loses network connectivity.

These facilities are most useful for modern laptops, where the user may move between wireless networks, and plug in to a variety of wired networks, but NetworkManager also provides features that are relevant to workstations. Current versions of NetworkManager support modem connections, and certain types of VPN. Development of these features is ongoing.
NetworkManager requires Fedora to have drivers for the wired and wireless interfaces on the computer. Many manufacturers of modems and wireless devices provide limited support for Linux. You may need to install additional drivers or firmware on your Fedora system in order to activate these interfaces.

Intel Wireless Adapters

To enable the wireless interfaces on Centrino laptops and other computers that use Intel PRO/Wireless adapters, copy the firmware files to /lib/firmware/ on your system. You may download these files from the IPW2200 Project Website: http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/.

Reboot your system after installing firmware files, to ensure that the adapter initializes correctly.
See the http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/IPW2200 page for more information.



The installation process for Fedora Core 6 automatically provides NetworkManager. To enable it, enter the following commands in a terminal window:

1.

Set the main service to automatically start on boot: su -c '/sbin/chkconfig --level 345 NetworkManager on'
2.

Set the dispatcher service to automatically start on boot: su -c '/sbin/chkconfig --level 345 NetworkManagerDispatcher on'
3.

Start the services: su -c '/sbin/service NetworkManager start ; /sbin/service NetworkManagerDispatcher start'

For each su command, enter the root password at the prompt.
The NetworkManager tray icon automatically appears on your desktop once the services are started. If the NetworkManager service is active, then the tray icon appears each time that you log in to your desktop.
