I have a new Dell toy on which I installed F10. I had been running F8 on a Vaio with a vanilla kernel that had the athos drivers compiled in.
Setup installed the PAE kernel. Using rpmfusion, I installed broadcom-wl along with the dependencies.
kernel broadcom-wl kmod-wl-2.6.27.12-170.2.5.fc10.i686 kmod-wl
I am not at all sure why it installed two kmod-wl. Both are from rpmfusion-nonfree-updates???
Is the kernel dependency correct? Does this mean that - to use wireless - I should boot from the non-PAE kernel?
I hate to ask - I feel stupid - but what is the difference between rpmfusion free and nonfree? Is this a licensing issue?
Thanks
