This sucks.

I have the card installed, but I cannot activate it. It says "SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory". Any ideas, please? I have Fedora 8. Thanks.

Linux is retarded, no matter what all you geeks say. I don't have the time to compile and build and all that crap. I want my computer to be a TOOL, not a job.

How do I connect to a wireless network? My wi-fi list is empty, even though I know there are networks around because I can pick them up find off my desktop. Any help is greatly appreciated.

After bumbling about for about 2 hours, I stumbled across your post, tried it out and it worked! And in response to Chuck, I've been through all of that. I'm completely new to Linux and had to get used to the jargon, the commands, the directory structure...etc. It's funny cause you spend so long trying to find something out and if someone had just told you that 'typing this one thing makes this happen', you'll have got it in 5 minutes. But once it's set up, it's a joy to use! It's worth it. Persevere! This was a great explanation. After bumbling about for about 2 hours, I stumbled across your post, tried it out and it worked!

Today I decided to jump into Linux/Ubuntu 7.10. But I can't get very far, because I can't get that Broadcom driver installed. I cannot access it online, as I have no other internet access at this time, except the wireless option. I downloaded the file to another computer, but I have no idea how to install it (I can use a USB flash drive). Can you believe that I can't even find information online that explains the Linux/Ubuntu directory structure and commands in a succinct way? Everything is jargon-ish, fragmented, and leaves out important steps, assuming you already know what you're doing. There don't seem to be any truly "beginner" instructions available. And I have to jump all over the place/internet to find anything. The Ubuntu Wiki is rather content-free. I would rather not defend M$, but so far, I must agree with MSguy.
