Thank you, Stoat. As matter on fact, i thinking that the problem concerned the compatibility with kernel version.

Hello Siva, It's what the forum is here for. Actually, when something tuns out well, like this, it's almost as good as doing it on your own machine. Enjoy the wireless. Bernard.

It works! Thank you all for your amazing help.

What do you mean by that? I am currently using firmware from openwrt, I don't know what you're talking about. Firmware from broadcom directly?

What are you talking about ? Be specific. Gaining access to a Linux system via wireless or any other network is only possible if you enable network service to allow this. This has NOTHING zero, nada to do with the drivers - so stop trying to use terms you don't understand. For remote diagnosis you must explain accurately what you experience - not what you imagine.

Hello qonfused and Sagitter, All that probably happened because ogetbilo's HOWTO that you followed was written before Fedora 11. Back then, there were three 32-bit kernels (i586, i686, PAE). Starting with Fedora 11, there are only two (i586 and PAE). When you have the PAE kernel, the old yum install commands that we once used to install many of the kmods can now install the i586 kernel as a dependency. You must now specify the PAE version...

Have you tried the steps listed above?

Most of the books I know of are like those SAMS textbook style - huge and expensive. Their redeeming value is the CD/DVD distribution. Unfortunately, they also go out of date within six months of publication (if not sooner), and none of them give any philosophy of operation, design, or practice. What you get are cookbook configurations known to work somewhere (else), but nothing that can give a guide to how they operate, or how to adapt them...

Before you do anything, you should back up your data. If you have a big enough external hard drive go download clonezilla and clone your entire HD, that way you know you can always get back to where you are now. If you don't, copy everythign you care about off of the system first. Then you can see if you can get your extended partition to go all the way to the end of your drive.

I accept your correction. Thankyou.
