Notebook Samsung p28 + RedHat

[EG142]

I have problems with integrated soundcard (IXP 150 ati chip + AD 1981B), Lan card (Broad Com BCM 4401KQL), and Wireles Lan (Agere Hermes 2(mini pci))
Video IGP Radeon 9000 is ok! (drivers from ati and then run in command prompt fglrxconfig -  see instuctions)

[EG142]

I am install OSS (latest sound driver) and now sound working good  www.opensound.com (see instructions: ./oss-install ....ets), and find
lan driver src from: www.broadcom.com but, maby i do something wrong, can't install that!! Guys and girls who have SamsungP28 please write enything about your OS and Drivers on Russian, Ukrainian or English !!

Well, first of all - what distro do you use? Then, show please result of the dmesg and lspci commands.

[EG142]

My distribution is RedHat 9.0, unfortunately I am lamer, and use Linux only two weeks Now I in WinXP and don't have dmesg and lspci results. In any case many thanks for you answer.  dmesg and lspci results will public little later.

anything - I know about my mistake

[Володимир Лісівка]

My distribution is RedHat 9.0,

Це _дуже_ старий дистрибутив. Спробуйте використати Fedora Core 6.

You are using very old distro! IMHO, it's does not support modern hardware

Pls, try to install other, like FedoraCore 5 or 6 (if you like RedHat) or Mandriva 2007 or Suse 10.1
In addition thats distros have much user friendly interfaces and tools, then RH9

Ok guys! Many thanks.

-maybe because old dist.....
I will install new OS!!! Many thanks!

What is b44 ? Is there driver for any device? Where is coming from?
Are you download it from Samsung or other web-site?

Pls, take attention to any README and/or INSTALL (some time HOWTO) files. You can find requirements for compiling, like - OS version, kernel version (drivers for 2.4.x kernel will never compile in 2.6.x and  vice versa). Sometime you must use kernel version not less or not more then explain in readme files.

There first different *ix OSes from win - you MUST carefully read docs before you do anything
