No, just replace every occurence of fc5 with fc4. Don't mix packages built for different FC versions. > Also, when I try to look at my FC4 on my dell laptop, I only see the eth > interface for the wired/eth connection.

No, simply install them, no need for kernel rebuilds or installing kernel-devel and the like. The packages contain userland binaries and kernel modules already built for the kernel you install them for. You need to install new kernel modules again whenever a new kernel is released (e.g. always install foo-kmdl-<uname -r>). > Thanks > > -Bruce > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Axel Thimm [mailto:thimm@xxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Axel Thimm > Sent: Tuesday, June 06, 2006 10:26 PM > To: bedouglas@xxxxxxxxxxxxx; For users of Fedora Core releases > Cc: 'Filianx' > Subject: Re: getting a wireless netgear WG511T card to work on FC > > > On Tue, Jun 06, 2006 at 11:59:44AM -0700, bruce wrote: > > duh!!! > > > > sorry about that.. i know that there are RPMs..
