Re: how to get Linux to view Vista home network (wireless)

I'm running Fedora Core 9 with the gnome X11 gui. If I click Places->network up comes a window very similar to Vista's network places. My clicking through the various screens I can get to the M$ computers on my home network.

There should be a similar widget on the ACER.
