    Hey All,

    This is my first post in this forum but I wanted to be a useful one even if it is the last. I know that there exists another thread with a lot of information on running linux on M11x but information is scattered around on that thread so I was wondering if we could have one thread that simply provides users with information as to what's working and what's not. Do remove the thread if you feel that it is redundant.

    Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx
    Fedora 13 Goddard


    I will keep this thread updated whenever someone has new information about a new distro they installed on their M11x. Please try to keep this thread only about testing info and not requests. Thanks.

    For Fedora Wireless Drivers: Broadcom Linux STA Driver

    1) Configure RPM Fusion (add via GUI or Terminal)
    2) Run YUM and Update from RPM Fusion Repos
    3) Install Driver via akmod or broadcom-wl Directly
    4) Reboot

    Alternatively: Use nDiswrapper
