Fedora 14 install

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

 



Hello,

 

I am having problems installing Fedora 14.

 

I am reasonably new to Linux and decided to start running Linux on my home PC.  It was a great learning experience working with Windows 7 Boot manager.

When I installed Fedora, I was asked to select some software.  Each option I selected indicated a network connection was required.  I assume that was to use YUM to install updated packages.

Anyway, I  had no network connection.  I use a Wireless Linksys WMP300N.  This uses the Broadcom BCM4321 chip set ( as seen from lspci  -nn).

 

Some threads I have read indicated that the 4321 chip set was supported under the Kernel, but I do not see evidence of this.  I have also read threads that suggested I install the Broadcom-wl rpm which was available on Fedora’s web site.   I searched the ISO media I burned and the web site but did not find anything.

 

I have also scanned the Fedora14 install doc.  The doc does not seem to  describe what I saw during the install.

 

I would appreciate if somebody can point me to a starting place to get this sorted out. 

 

The install I did do was very minimalistic.  It did not install GCC.  I see that on the media but it has many dependencies.  I would love to use yum to install everything I need, but I need a network to do it.

 

Thank you in advance.
