hi all,

I have installed centos 5.4, after install i have wired internet connection, but I want to use, my wireless adapter. I go to System>Administration>Networks and have it activited, but it has a message, error in wireless request “set encode” (8B2A). And it can’t determine IP address. Do you think it has to do with the driver of the wireless card? how to install them?

@Feck McConnel
You can try issuing 3rd party repositories on RH/CentOS such as EPEL, RPMFusion are two good choices, these might have more recent version of your software but remember that RH/CentOS are more geared for stability rather than bleeding edge. In that case you can try Fedora.

@suchi
the guide suggests doing this:
yum whatprovides gnome-libs

@Sam
Have a look at RHN Proxy Server,
http://www.redhat.com/red_hat_network/faq/
It allows you to cache rpms internally and distribute them to your local network.

Hi,
100 Linux servers which are part of production, doesn’t have access to internet. It’s in private DMZ. YUM will not work here. How would you install the latest patches?

yum is crap, it was modelled after aptitude which is the debian packages manager, apt is way better than yum, and debian is a kickass to redhat.
