- Re: Wireless, Broadcom (Roman Makurin)
Thank you so much for the link, I download the file "hybrid-portsrc-x86_32_5_10_27_6.tar.gz" and the readme files, the direction are written for people that are familiar with Linux. I got stuck on step 5 "make -C /lib/modules/<2.6.xx.xx>/build M='pwd'" I replaced the contents of <2.6.xx.xx> with "2.6.26.6-79.fc9.i686" which is the directory I found in my computer in the directory there is a file "build" and yet the result No such file or directory I try also as root, same problem. Any help is greatly appreciate. Vinny
You need to make sure you have the "kernel-devel" RPM installed and it's easier to use
make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build M=`pwd`
command. Note that those tick marks are graves (backwards appostrophes), typically found on the key with the tilde ("~").
I did fallow the instructions but I could not find the file "wl.ko" in which directory should be? I also noted some error listed during the processing, here is all the steps that I went through and various messages maybe you can detect what I miss or did wrong. thank you.

I could not connect to the above link a message came on give me 2 choice "get me out of here" and "add exception" adding exception indicate high security risk, I decided not to go forward. any advice? thank you.
