Making steady but slow progress getting Linux(es) set up on my Dell
Latitude D820 laptop computer, I'm ready to try and install drivers
for intel 3945 for Fedora 6 (with ubuntu 6.10, they were already
loaded when the installation CD recognized the device). Unlike ubuntu,
Fedora already loaded NetworkManager.
Details at http://www.kernel-panic.org/Members/cmaier/hamburger-lugnut-log
, as usual.
My question now: Which is the best place to look for the intel 3945 driver?
I'm aware of http://ipw3945.sourceforge.net/ , but if possible, I
would like to postpone the step of compiling a module from source for
yet another while.
So, are there Fedora Core 6 compatible repositories that aren't
preconfigured in pirut?
What would be a good place to start looking for them??
Check out <http://atrpms.net>. The site has prebuilt rpms for various
systems. Be careful that you choose the right rpm (32bit vs 64bit etc.)
Other locations for rpms you might want are <http://freshrpms.net> and
<http://rpm.livna.org>. This is where you get things like mplayer, xine,
and plugins for xmms so it can play mp3 files.
