Re: [clug-talk] Installing 3COM Wireless Card

[Dallin Doney]

I am not sure how to search for the rpm.  Is that on the command line or 
is it a GUI application?  I tried using Kfind, but no help.  

Sorry for all the questions.

Indeed it is :)

There will be a rpm package called kernel-<version>.src.rpm that you need to 
install. I believe RH9 has a package utility with a search function that 
should help you find the right one.

As the name implies, it's simply the source code for your kernel. Many things 
need includes from it if they are being compiled in order to be compatible.

HTH,

I have been trying to install a wireless card on my laptop with RedHat
9.  I was following instructions I found on LinuxQuestions.org
(http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/archive/18/2003/05/3/48870)

I followed all of the steps and it all worked up until the part where
the girl said that she needed to install the source kernel.  Forgive
     

me

   

for being such a newbie but I have one question.

How do I do that?
     

That depends -- what distro are you running?
