Question FC4: How to rebuild kernel and modify stack size


I am having problems with FC4 detecting wireless card Intel PRO/Wireless card on LG LW60Exprees laptop.
I have read several HOWTO files and it appear that what needs to be doen is to recompile the kernel and modify the stack size to be greater than 4K.
I've downloaded the kernel source but I do not know how to configure the stack size before recompiling.

Please help with any information.

Regards,

Stingrayon

Um, lets take a quick step back here before launching into a full blown kernel compile. Intel is one of the few companies making wireless chipsets that actually think about Linux, and therefore there are native drivers available for most Intel based wireless cards. Using a native Linux driver usually means that the 4K stack issue isn't a problem. If you can figure out what chipset that card uses (if it is an internal PCI card, try running lspci in a console window) we might be able to get you running without a kernel compile.

Also, since you are running Fedora, check out the kernels produced by the Linux-NTFS project. This group has traditionally produced kernels without the 4K stack problem and distribute them as an RPM for Fedora. It might be an easier way to go, unless of course you want to learn to compile your own kernel.
