FC5 Redeemed
Filed Under Linux
So after an afternoon of working with ndiswrapper I found the bcm43xx-fwcutter package that I swore I looked for when I first installed. It must have been before I added livna & freshrpms. Anyway, I installed that, cut the firmware & I’m using wireless.
I’m really happy with the progress the latest kernels have made with wireless support. Now that I’m online with FC5 I don’t mind it so much. That has been a real issue for me lately.
So after installing SUSE 10.1 & FC5 my top 3 list has changed.
1. Ubuntu (always)
2. FC5
3. SUSE (I’m still having issues with updates, wireless, YaST and the convoluted menu system. Ugh!) I am much less impressed with 10.1 than I was with 10.
