Once you know the kernel version, use another networked
machine to download the kernel-devel for that same version
your usb spin boots into.
At any rate, you might have to go the rpmfusion to find the
kernel-devel for your kernel.
I am running a usb spin on a dell inspiron but the wireless, broadcom, doesn't
work.
I'd like to be able to insmod the proper module but without network, no yum to
install kmod-wl.
I could install kernel-devel and build the module if I even knew which kernel
package was used for the spin.
Is there a list of the packages used for the various spins?
Maybe I'm going about this all wrong. Anyway, thanks for any info.
