Hello:

I recently installed Fermi Linux AMD64, and it didn't recognize my wireless 
nic. I have hopes to be able to have wireless Internet in this OS, and I 
have the right module and the firmware that would make it work. Problem is 
that I do not know what I need to install to be able to compile the module. 
I tried as the installation stands and I cannot compile. Also, I would be 
interested in knowing whether the Scientific Linux packages are good for 
Fermi Linux, or where to download the necessary packages to be able to 
compile. I tried to install Scientific Linux 5.0 i386, but the installer 
doesn't go further on than choosing the language of the installation, on 
choosing the keyboard outline, the installation freezes. Thanks for your 
help.

Teilhard.
