before you re-compile your kernel use the running kernel as a template:
Then run make menuconfig and add your driver
ps. make sure your root filesystem (eg ext3) is compiled into your kernel, not a module!
Now compile, make install, make modules_install and reboot!

tnx, bro for helping me, thank u for advice every thing is going ok , and right now i can used new kernel, but there is problem in it , there is no connection to internet, but when i check about eth0,eht1, i found it, but does not make any connection to internet , so could u help me , tnx, bro another time,

The system may have swapped the devices... tried to reconfigure it?

Edit: perhaps some other kernel module is required? Check your menucofig

just maybe
 

hey,
when i recompile kernel, sometimes the ifcfg-eth0 (or whatever corresponding) is gone. this doesn't always happen, but it happened 2 me before. good luck

tnx, guys for response on my question , so i fix the problem with eth0, by adding manual ip address to eth0, but still i have problem in eth1(wireless) i need more than eth0, cause i will use to create ad hoc network between the devices,if there is any idea about that, plz send to me guys, cause i am in rush ,

my first question is WHY fedora 10
fedora 10 is now PAST it's end of life . There will never be any updates to it ever.

Old good code remains good code ;)

But seriously, try slack, it's good old manual drive!

tnx , guys about every things , so about why choose fedora 10 do not choose another i do not know, cause my friends advice about it and do not choose the newest things ,cause still have problems, so i choose it, so if any one of them could help to get any information or tutorial about make menuconfig , cause it has many options , i need to understand it, even to recompile my kernel very well, don't get any terrible , so let me continue with this version of fedora, cause i do not have enough of time to change it, and right now i familiar to it,
my regards

fedora 10 is no longer supported
fedora has a 13 month life cycle and a NEW version is released every 6 months

If you do not want to reinstall the operating system every 6 months then do not use fedora.

from your above post you have a bit of a misconception of fedora
Fedora is a TESTING and "Research And Development " distro

It pushes the box of what is possible And as such things will very often get broken .updates do and will brake things


if you DO like to fix a busted os or programs and LIKE to fix code then fedora is a great OS
BUT IT IS NOT " a just should work" OS .

Maybe its just taking a while to switch framebuffer modes.
Try giving it 30seconds or so and if that does not work, check the frame buffer drivers compiled in.
