I have 2 Fedora 18 x64 KDE spin installations on this laptop. The first install was done when F18 was released and gradually upgraded to latest as of today. The second install was done today and also fully updated. Now the mystery - on older install wireless works, but on newer it doesn't. I did some comparison of lspci and lsmod outputs between installs, but didn't find any big differences.
What else can I check to find and hopefully fix the problem on the new install? What log(s) can I check for wireless errors?
lspci -vvv:
lsmod:
dmesg:
