Fedora Linux Wireless card problem!

Asked By thejoker 0 points N/A Posted on - 09/30/2011

Not long time ago I installed linux's Fedora os on my netbook Samsung n150, everything was okay but the wireless card, i found drivers for my "atheros" wireless card and installed them successfully on my np150 but it says that it's disabled by the administrator, I am the administrator and I've never disabled it, so I don't really know anything about how to make it "enabled" so i can use it.
