FC4 on Dell Inspiron 1200 with NetGear WAG511 Dual-Band Wireless Card

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This equipment just shipped in. I have also installed more memory on it, so that it actually boasts 768 MB of RAM, not merely the 256-MB of RAM that is hard-wired into it. It also has a 40-GB HDD, so I don't anticipate a problem with space.

I have heard a lot of contradictory statements about the prospects of getting FC4 to work on equipment of this type.

Two issues:

1. Has anyone any experience installing FC4 on this model (Dell Inspiron 1200) at all?

2. Exactly how do I install the MADWiFi drivers and kernel module? I specifically bought the NetGear WAG511 because it has an Atheros chipset, which MADWiFi is supposed to recognize. But I haven't found any decent instructions on how to install MADWiFi drivers and kernel modules from RPM packages.

Any assistance, even with research, would be appreciated.
