+ | MeeGo has shown it self as a valid OS on netbooks and transforming it into what it is all about - building an end-user no-brain appliance. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Unfortunately everything isn't as smooth as one could wish for and one issue is the Broadcom wireless chipset. As I own a Lenovo S10e with this devil of a chipset this recipe is based on that device. | ||
+ | |||
+ | What I will describe is how to build a rpm package containing the wireless driver. You need two things: MeeGo installed on the computer and a cable plugged in to have a Internet access available during the building process. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Create the boot USB key: | ||
+ | Download the MeeGo image file, go to http:// | ||
+ | When you've downloaded the image file plug in the usb key and find the device name by opening a terminal and launch the command " | ||

+ | With this output in mind run: | ||

+ | </ | ||
+ | |||
+ | This will **destroy everything** on the USB key and build a bootable device from which you will boot and install MeeGo. Now just plug it in, boot and install MeeGo. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | When the install has finished and the netbook is back up, plug in the network cable and start a terminal. Move the curser to the top of the screen and find the " | ||

+ | After the installation and building has finished reboot the netbook. When it is up again you can now find a wireless device: | ||
