Una de las novedades de Fedora 13 es la mejora de NetworkManager en la terminal. Ahora es sumamente sencillo conectarse por wifi desde la consola.
Para esto necesitamos el paquete cnetworkmanager, lo instalamos si no lo tenemos:
$ su -c 'yum install cnetworkmanager'
para ver la lista de ESSIDs disponibles, ejecutamos
$ cnetworkmanager -a
Active | HwAddress | Ssid
-------+-------------------+--------
| 00:21:29:96:86:5C | linksys
| 00:1C:10:8D:09:EB | Nibbler
| 00:1B:11:D1:E9:75 | red
en este ejemplo me voy a conectar a mi red que es Nibbler, para esto ejecuto:
$ cnetworkmanager --connect=Nibbler --wpa-pass=
