Hi Tim, <br><br>Thanks. But I can't do "yum" because it relies on a network connection which I don't have in the first place. At least<br>that's how I thought it works. <br><br> :(<br><br>--Cherry <br>

Hi All,<br><br>I've been trying to run SoaS on both my Windows XP and Vista netbooks and ran into the problem of not being able get a wifi access. So I went through these exercise:<br>1) downloaded the linux driver support for the chipset<br>
2) untar the file in my SoaS root directory<br>3) but on the step where I had to run "make".. no dice. <br><br>I am a newbie Linux user. I'm using the blueberry version of SoaS. Is there supposed to be a developer version that I have to be using instead which has make and C compiler installed? Please advice thank you! Please don't send me into the wiki labyrinth. <br>
<br>Thanks,<br><font color="#888888">Cherry</font></blockquote><div><br></div></div></div><div>Cherry,</div><div><br></div><div>I'm not a Fedora user, but this should lead you on the right way.
