Hey, John --
Type uname
-r it will tell you which kernel you are actually
running, both the Linux version and the Redhat release.
i586 or i686 are
kernel versions. if you are running the i386 kernel, EVEN IF YOU HAVE
AN i686 CPU, you must use the i386 RPMs.
cheers!

Subject: kernel update/wireless
install
I am trying to install the ipw2100
wireless on my Insprion 8600 notebook.
I originally installed FC2
2.6.5-1.358, and have since then upgraded to 2.6.6.1-435.2.3 using up2date.
When I run the make file (builds external) I get an error saying
that ieee802_11.h is not found. The file exists under the /usr/src
directory for the original kernel. My guess is that I need to download
the source for the kernel I updated to. I have found the packages for
both kernel-source and the modules, but they are listed as i586 and i686
(there are 64-bit as well, but I don?t have that system type). Can
anyone tell me which of these I should get? I am somewhat new at this,
so any input is appreciated.
Regards,
John
