Hi,
Sorry if I write to wrong forum thread. I have some questions. I have bougth notebook with AMD64 CPU. I have been using linux from RH6.0, but now, I downloaded/installed FC3 for AMD64. Many things work fine, other problem solving I found on this forum or google. I'm a bit confused from packages . When I well understand, I should install only x86_64 packages, and other i386 only when I need run 32-bit application, that need this one?
Can I found any howto for fedora AMD64 distro?
Was somebody trying run wifi with Realtek chipset /ASUS WL-107g/ in 64 mode? Drivers doesn't exist and I can't compile ndiswrapper /compilation finishes with some error, I don't remember error message now/. Or should I compile ndiswrapper in 32 bit mode with adding needs switches? Has somebody any experience, ideas, hopefully links?

Thanx very much for any support,
HoRaR

I wish one well to FC

That's a RALINK RT2500 based card... try this link:
