Hi Nicolas,<br><br>I don't have reason to use PAE Kernel in my system because I don't have more than 4GB memory in my notebook.<br><br>Answering your doubt:<br><br>I think that installation default of RHEL is to using PAE kernel in installation process, because it's a Enterprise distro used for Servers. I didn't choose this kind of kernel in my installation, it was choose by the installation script less my participation.<br>
<br>Now I'll read information in "CentOS wiki" about wirelles card (<a href="http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Laptops/Wireless">http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Laptops/Wireless</a>) to solve my problem about the installation Broadcom BCM4328 Wirelles card in my OS.<br>

</div>no.<br>
the .rpmmacros just improves the information provided by rpm queries<br>
("rpm -q" commands), by adding the packages' arches.<br>
This is often useful on x86_64 systems where you can have two rpms<br>
installed with the same name (one i386 and one x86_64).<br>
Since you're running i386 it's not so useful, but doesn't hurt either.<br>
<br>
But "yum install kmod-ndiswrapper" will still fail, it's got no<br>
connection with rpm -q.<br>
The correct solution to your problem is that since you are running a PAE<br>
kernel, you must install kmod-ndiswrapper-PAE instead of<br>
kmod-ndiswrapper - it's a different package specifically for PAE kernels<br>
such as the one you use. I didn't know about this because I don't use<br>
PAE kernels.<br>
And to know that this was the solution, we had to know which kernel you<br>
were running. My initial suggestion "uname -a" provided the answer to that.<br>
<br>
Now, concerning your particular wireless card, I have no idea. There's a<br>
page about wireless cards on the centos wiki, did you check it out?<br>
<br>
Good luck.<br>
<br>
