In the saga of my quest to get a cheap USB wi-fi dongle to work as an access point, I was eventually led to the compat-wireless code: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Download I'm just curious if anyone out there has a fedora repo for this stuff so I wouldn't have to build from source. I suspect the answer is no, because it would sure be a lot of work to keep up with all the snapshots and deal with build errors, but I thought I'd ask just in case :-). The prospect of making my dongle work does seem to be looking up. I suspect by the time fedora 16 is using a 2.6.39 or greater kernel, it may just function out of the box.

A bootable live USB stick with the wi-fi drivers, and the USB dongle itself. Turn any public computer with a wired internet connection into a wi-fi hot spot by rebooting with the live USB and plugging in the wi-fi dongle (now if only I could get a wi-fi dongle that also had a 4 gig flash drive, I'd really be set :-). -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
