Core 2 Test 1 on my new laptop, everything installed just great... accept the onboard network card and wireless card, I figured the wireless card wouldn't go so I'm not really worried about that. the network card I have is a Broadcom NetXtreme BCM5788 the network card does show up in ifconfig as eth0 but in the network config utility in fedora it doesn's show up. downloaded the newest drivers from broadcom's site tried to start the compile... but I get this lovely error: rpm -ivf bcm5700-7.1.22-1.src.rpm /etc/security/selinux/src/policy/file_contexts/file_contexts: no such file or directory error: cannot create %sourcedir /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES now this is a fresh install of Fedora so I'm not sure why I'm even getting this error. installing the driver itself is pretty well covered by the instructions but if I Can't get past this then.... :S funny thing though.. just for kicks I installed lindows 4.5 dev ed. and it worked just fine, including the ethernet card. any suggestions? foolish11th March 2004, 04:17 PMFirst of all, you are using a test release. Compare this to beeing a test pilot for a plane that doesn't entirely work. You use test releases to find the errors, so that they can be fixed. Just as you don't learn how to fly a plane by beeing a test-pilot for some government funded research project, you don't learn how to use Fedora by using a test release, especially the first of the 3 test releases. If you don't want to be a test-pilot, you should use a stable release of Fedora, Core 1 is the current stable release. Fedora is an open-source only distro, as such it's free for you to download. This means that any drivers, video codecs, audio formats and so on that isn't open-source won't be included in Fedora. If they were, Fedora wouldn't be free, nor open. Maybe, and I don't know this for sure, Lindows had the non-open driver in there by default. And the charge you pay to get Lindows solved the whole open source only problem. In Fedora, you will have to install th
