I have a freshly installed version of FC3... however i can't get the lspci command to work.. do i have to run it in a certain dir.?
i have root access... wtf is wrong? thanks

edit: command doens't seem to exist..
can't find it in any of the packages for add/remove packags... wtf is going on?

Code:

rpm -ql `rpm -qa` | grep -i lspci

What do you get?

Cheers,

I think lspci is one of those commands like lsmod that you can't individually add or remove. The command lspci does work on my box but the rpm querry doesn't return any results.
You could try the command: scanpci
I'm thinking you left out system and / or development packages during the install.

try running it is the 'superuser konsole' not just su to root
same thing with me and fc3, but works in superuser mode

Try using
su -
instead of
su

That way you actually get root's environment settings.

ok "su -" worked...
thanks guys,

one more thing, i have a Atheros based wireless card, should i use madwifi or ndiswrapper?

i already "make install" for ndiswrapper already, can i install madwifi over it?

guys, it finally works!! i finally have wireless on my laptop..

however, now my cdrom won't eject... i don't know what's going on, but anyways... is there a way to eject the cd from linux??
the button doesn't seem to want to do it..

also, is there a way to check my wireless signal strength?

umount it ...
or try
su -c eject
(type root's password)

btw: you can also use lspci (even as non-root) by simply typing its path:

Code:

/sbin/lspci
