Installing RHEL6 on Toshiba L675D-7022 Need links or advice on Wireless

Latest response

Hello!

I so enjoy having RHEL6 on the workstation that I bought a subscription for my laptop and whamo I am needing sound advice on how to get the wireless working.

I have been searching for info and I think I found some advice.

I am limited to using the WiFi at a local Coffee Shop for a while so I am trying to get the wireless working to complete an install of the RHEL6. I hope to afford home internet service soon but not today.

This Toshiba is a replacement for one slightly different model I had which may have died from a power surge.
I wanted to access the encrypted drive and I could not from my WorkStation so I picked up this unit from EBay and am now wishing to go RHEL^ from here on out.

I found that the driver for wifi under Fedora 14 ( yeah I have been running 14 until yesterday ) had to be replaced and then the headphone fails to play now.. I think you all can understand the frustration level.
I then see that what I do for Fedora 14 will not apply to RHEL6.

All that aside...

The resource I found: This is a thread on the CENTROS side of things and I am unsure if this is the way to accomplish getting the (wifi) internet access to work on a fresh install of RHEL6.

https://www.centos.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=7754

It seems logical to follow along with that thread but is that the correct way to modify the RHEL6 to work?

I've done my best to locate the answers myself first. Perhaps I am not searching this site correctly so I welcome links to and such.

I see that Toshiba is not Linux Friendly in it's support. Perhaps I should plan on a better brand in the future but with the legacy encrypted drive and data I made a choice to do this.
