(Extreme Newbie)
Need help accessing Internet on Inspiron 9300 & newly installed FC4.
Used another computer to download ethernet controller source files from Broadcom, but when I follow Readme instructions to use rpmbuild I get error messages:
error: 'struct pci_dev has no member named 'slot_name'
make [2]: *** [usr/src/redhat/BUILD/bcm4400-3.0.14/b44um.o] Error 1
make [1]: *** [_module_/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/bcm4400-3.0.14] Error 2
make [1]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/kernels/2.6.11-1.1369_FC4-i686'
make: *** [default] Error 2
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.86824 (%build)
RPM build errors:
Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.86824 (%build)
Adding injury to injury, I can't reinstall Windows XP from recovery disk, so I have no means to access Internet using this expensive laptop!
In futile attempts to resolve the issues above, I've been ! reading posts for days, most of which are far too technical for me to grasp. Please help!
PS, I intended to download i386 iso and driver files, so I'm not sure why there is a reference in error messages to i686.
