Dear Dharmendra,
Most wifi chipsets nowadays should be autodetected by NetworkManager in
F13.
If however you have one of the newer 802.11 N series cards, you might
have
better luck with fedora 14. If you can attatch the output of the 'lspci'
and
the 'lspci -v' commands so that we can determine the exact wifi chipset
in
use. Some of the newer cards might also need some firmware that is also available via YUM on the base and/or rpmfusion repositories.
Like 'Hardware Drivers' Ubuntu, is there a GUI utility in Fedora to automatically download and install proprietary hardware drivers from the internet?
Sadly Rony, Fedora does not work that way. Since Fedora does not ship any proprietary code, you will have to depend on the external rpmfusion repository, going through the standard yum/packagekit interfaces. The good news is, at least on the wireless front, there are a vanishingly small number of cards that need proprietary-love(Thank embedded for that). From what i hear, he just has a variant of the intel 4965AGN, and should be working fine on f14.
