[TriLUG] Red Hat 8.0 menu, networking, and DVD player

[Robert Baker]

Jeremy,

This helps.  I would get the exact error messages when installing then
booting RH8.

I'll follow the instructions and let everyone know how it went.

Thanks,

Hi Rob,

I would recommend not using the linux_wlan_ng drivers, but instead using the
kernel drivers included with RHL 8.0.  To do this, you'll need a small
configuration chance to get your Linksys recognized.  See this URL for more:

That should get you up and running in a jiffy!
