drivers n dependencies 4 dell studio 1555

piyush.ml20 · 04-20-2009, 05:59 AM

h/w config :

GPU-ati4570 512 mb
WiFi-intel5100 half mini card.
The ethernet card manufacturer is Broadcom, dunno the exact number but its same in all the new laptops as the chipset is Intel's GM45.
I tried the drivers supplied by Dell but they all gave dependency errors. Since Internet is not working I can't resolve any.
The distro is RHEL 5.
Please provide me some solution for this.

The solution is to satisfy the dependencies, that's it. It's not going to work without all the missing pieces. Get on the internet, and get what you need. Or you can contact RedHat support, since you're paying for it with RHEL5, and get them to send you what you need.

i tried dependency 4m pbone.net but can't get it.
i don't have any rhel support now.

Ok, but you've not posted the error(s), or said anything else, other than "it errored".

Whatever problems you have, you're going to have to work through. If you're not paying for RHEL support, you should download and install CentOS, which is essentially the same thing as RHEL, but community supported.
