Duncan, or anyone else with experience in this,
I've installed Scientific Linux 3 (which is a rebadged RHEL3) on my
new laptop (IBM ThinkPad), but it doesn't recognise the
wireless network card, an Intel Pro 2200BG. Looks like Intel's
driver requires kernel versions >=2.6.8. SL3 has 2.4 kernels.
Scientific Linux 4 apparently has a 2.6.9 kernel.
Questions:
1. does anyone have useful experience with getting IP2200BG
working under linux?
2. does anyone have experience with Scientific Linux 4 and/or
RHEL4 (which it's a copy of)? It claims to come with
backward compatibility libraries so I guess things that
work on RHEL3 (like building/running the USSC) ought to work,
but you never know...
I'm not deeply committed to Scientific Linux, but Rhys suggested it
was a good choice.
cheers
Mark
