[nflug] Local YUM Install...

[DANIEL MAGNUSZEWSKI]

Yeah, I tried installing the acx100 stuff. Things seemed to go well
until I needed to recompile the kernel. The instructions I was using (
http://acx100.sourceforge.net/wiki/ACX ) had me do a "make menuconfig".
I had no idea what to do with the menu, and haven't had much time to
look into it, so I got stuck at that point.

Does anyone have any experience/pointers with "make menuconfig" or
getting madwifi/acx100 to work in FC5?

I'll look into the ndiswrapper and see how that works.

cybersource should be able to get your wireless working.  it should be
the acx100 chipset, which, though it is a pita, but workable.
you could also try to get ndiswrapper working with it (would require
finding the sources, and installing them, which can be a pain, but 
fairly reliable)
