I am running a usb spin on a dell inspiron but the wireless, broadcom, doesn't
work.
I'd like to be able to insmod the proper module but without network, no yum to
install kmod-wl.
I could install kernel-devel and build the module if I even knew which kernel
package was used for the spin.

Is there a list of the packages used for the various spins?

Maybe I'm going about this all wrong. Anyway, thanks for any info.

When yiou boot the USB spin, what does
uname -r


tell  you?


Or, more precisely,


rpm -q kernel


will tell you which version of the kernel it is running.
Once you know the kernel version, use another networked

machine to download the kernel-devel for that same version
your usb spin boots into.

At any rate, you might have to go the rpmfusion to find the
kernel-devel for your kernel.
