I cannot enable my wireless by using the function key.
And most importantly I cannot enable my wireless. It should turn blue when I click on it (fn f12), but it remains red.
My my HP Mini, I also have Fedora 17 on a separate partition. When I boot I can activate the using the fn keys wireless.
Everything seems to be ok with loading the modules, fireware, etc.
