Hi,
This is about 3 or 4 questions in one, so I'm going to start at the top
and see if we can get this figured out together.
It sounds like the first and main problem is that your wireless isn't
recognized.
Do you know what type of wireless it is?
If not, can you send the output of
lspci
Just so you know, Fermi Linux (Scientific Linux Fermi) uses the
Scientific Linux packages, except for Fermi's custom ones. Fermi
doesn't customize anything dealing with compilers, so any Scientific
Linux packges should work with the Fermi Linux of the same release (ie
SL 4.4 pacakges work in Fermi Linux 4.4)

Hello:
I recently installed Fermi Linux AMD64, and it didn't recognize my
wireless nic. I have hopes to be able to have wireless Internet in this
OS, and I have the right module and the firmware that would make it
work. Problem is that I do not know what I need to install to be able to
compile the module. I tried as the installation stands and I cannot
compile. Also, I would be interested in knowing whether the Scientific
Linux packages are good for Fermi Linux, or where to download the
necessary packages to be able to compile. I tried to install Scientific
Linux 5.0 i386, but the installer doesn't go further on than choosing
the language of the installation, on choosing the keyboard outline, the
installation freezes. Thanks for your help.
Teilhard.
