- 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.

It just means Firefox didn't recognize the site certificate. Which is normal for sites that don't want to pay an exorbitant fee to Verisign or whatever. I wouldn't worry about in this case since the RPMs are signed anyway. I would worry if it was your bank.

You can also make the exception temporary when you get far enough along in the process.
