Network freezes/ Realtek RTL-8185 wireless lan controller
Hello all 
I am using a Realtek RTL-8185 wireless lan controller on my Dell dimension 4800 to try to connect to the internet. my distro is fedora 11. I go to enable wireless and my computer freezes, I have done some upgrading and building on the computer for a year now but I have always had problems with any distro and getting that computer to connect to the internet. I had been using windows for a while but got a massive virus and cant kill it so I am going back to my new love... Linux. So I put a hard drive with fedora 11 and a wireless card in the computer and loaded it up, It loads fine but when ever i try to do anything networking wise it will freeze. I went to the networking icon and saw it was enabled but not wireless I went to enable it and the computer freezes. any help would be great. If you need any more info let me know.

MACHINE-INFO(5) machine-info MACHINE-INFO(5) NAME
machine-info - Local machine information file SYNOPSIS
/etc/machine-info DESCRIPTION
The /etc/machine-info file contains machine meta data. The basic file format of machine-info is a newline-separated list of environment-like shell-compatible variable assignments. It is possible to source the configuration from shell scripts, however, beyond mere variable assignments no shell features are supported, allowing applications to read the file without implementing a shell compatible execution engine. /etc/machine-info contains meta data about the machine that is set by the user or administrator. Depending on the operating system other configuration files might be checked for machine information as well, however only as fallback. OPTIONS
The following machine meta data parameters may be set using /etc/machine-info: PRETTY_HOSTNAME= A pretty human-readable UTF8 machine identifier string. This should contain a name like Lennart's Laptop which is useful to present to the user and does not suffer by the syntax limitations of internet domain names. If possible the internet host name as configured in /etc/hostname should be kept similar to this one. Example: if this value is Lennart's Computer an Internet host name of lennarts-computer might be a good choice. If this parameter is not set an application should fall back to the Internet host name for presentation purposes. ICON_NAME= An icon identifying this machine according to the XDG Icon Naming Specification[1]. If this parameter is not set an application should fall back to computer or a similar icon name. EXAMPLE
PRETTY_HOSTNAME="Lennart's Computer" ICON_NAME=computer-laptop SEE ALSO
