12.2.2 The GUI way
Once you have verified that you have the wireless network chip operational, as
described in the previous sections, it is time to have a look at a GUI that will help
you with all these steps and some other valuable tasks. The NetworkManager is a
service with a corresponding applet that will dock into your panel. It is included
in most distributions nowadays and is started by:
# service NetworkManager start
# service NetworkManagerDispatcher start
Try it out and play with it, if you like it and want it to start at system startup
type:
# chkconfig --add NetworkManager
# chkconfig --add NetworkManagerDispatcher
# chkconfig --level 5 NetworkManager on
# chkconfig --level 5 NetworkManagerDispatcher on
13 Bluetooth
No special actions were needed for me to get Bluetooth up and running. It was
truly amazing how easy it was. However, in order to be complete the details are
summarized below.
13.1 Verify installation
Make sure that you have the bluez-utils package installed:
# rpm -q bluez-utils
bluez-utils-2.25-4
Also make sure that it is configured to start at boot time:
# chkconfig --list bluetooth
bluetooth 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off
If not, you need to add it to the runlevel system:
# chkconfig --add bluetooth
Now watch your system log while you push the bluetooth button on the front of
your laptop to activate your bluetooth circuities:
# tail -f /var/log/messages
