Hi,
I recently managed to install redhat 9.0 on my machine
. I have an ASUS P4PE motherboard. I have been having problems with the onboard Broadcom 440 10/100. I believe the problem is that redhat 9 does not have the proper driver for it therefore my LAN internet connection does not work. After many attempts to install the tar and rpm versions of the driver available from the motherboard CD and also the latest off the broadcom website I am still unable to install the drivers. After some more searching I followed the instructions on post questions/history/91814 of this website. Unfortunately i can't post URLs yet.
I attempted to install kernel-2.4.20-30.9.i386.rpm and kernel-source-2.4.20-30.9.i386.rpm. Installation of kernel-2.4.20-30.9.i386.rpm went along fine but when I tried to install kernel-source-2.4.20-30.9.i386.rpm I got the following error:
gcc >= 2.96-98 is needed by kernel-source-2.4.20-30.9
So, could some one out there please help me out please? Learning Linux with easy internet access would be a lot easier.
Thanks in advance
