urgent! fc alpha linuxant driver error?

[nchung66]

i am trying to install linuxant driver on my gateway 6020gz because the wireless card isn't supported. i am using fc 9 (alpha). dunno if that might be a problem in it of itself but please check terminal log and offer any help!

i'm completely new to this and i just typed in random commands i've found from various guides but this just seems out of scope for me! i really need internet! thanks guys

I cannot help you with the Linuxant driver, but before you waste much more time on this it might behoove you to read this thread all the way through:

You also might want to browse through this one:

to see what kinds of problems F9 Alpha is currently experiencing. My advice, welcome or not, is that F9 is nowhere near being used as a working install. F8 is where you need to be.
