Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :
SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument.
SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory
Failed to bring up wlan0.

Do you know the make of your wireless card? Run lspci command to get info.

Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] Network Connection (rev 02)

Type the following command to install the same. First, turn on RPMFORGE repo (see Red Hat / CentOS Linux: Enable and Install Media, CD / DVD, Moive MP3 Players )

Code:

yum install dkms-ipw3945

Type the following

Code:

chkconfig NetworkManager on
chkconfig NetworkManagerDispatcher on
service NetworkManager restart
service NetworkManagerDispatcher restart

Save log out and reboot the laptop. To create wireless connections and connect Network Manager. Log in as the user into GNOME environment and notice a new "blue" color applet appearing in the upper right hand corner. Left-click on the new applet nm-applet and select a wireless connection in range to the notebook. Now put your username, password and other details.
