I will try Ethernet with out making changes with 5.3 to see if things get going if not this is probably still the easiest route imho. The last I checked the RPMForge nvidia-x11-drv were a lot older then the latest release and had issues with the graphics card. Again here I will see what the current release is on RPM Forge and provide reference. For now I've added the following in Links & Notes: ** If after an install internet connection is possible; it may be an easier option to get WiFi firmware and GPU drivers from RPMForge. _________________________________________________________________ Share your photos with Windows Live Photos – Free. http://clk.atdmt.com/UKM/go/134665338/direct/01/
