 kernel-utils-2.4-8.37
kernel-pcmcia-cs-3.1.31-13


iam confused it says the kernel rpms are available but there is nothing

in /usr/src/

kernel


 i just installed the redhat ES-3 and trying to install my broadcom NIC

driver .


how to make this work..without internet on the redhat is like living
with paralysis.


please help 


 thanks


If you are building machines with kickstart add the following to the %packages section to avoid this in the future.

@ kernel-development

If building by hand, you are looking for that group of packages.
