Vlad~
Thanks for the
reply. The exact output from uname ?r gives:
2.6.6-1.435.2.3
The output from uname
?a gives:
Lnux nebo
2.6.6-1.435.2.3 #1 Thu Jul 1 08:25:29
EDT 2004 i686 i686 i386
GNU/Linux
Hence the
confusion?
I hope you can
help. I?m a little confused by the combination of i686 and
i386?
Regards

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.

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
