which kernel for athlon xp 1800+

[greg@ 0]

As you can see I am total linux newbie. I just started to install the latest Fedora FC DVD download version.

Looking at this forum for help for my WLAN configuration (Netgear 311T with madwifi drivers) I found out that I have to update my kernel (2.6.9-1.667).

I looked to http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/3/i386 and wondered, which kernel to use. i586 or i686? Is there a special kernel for athlons?

 

When I use uname -p I get just athlon.

Found the solution:

 

i386 > Pentium 1/AMD Klasse

i586 > Pentium 2/Pentium Pro and higher

i686 > P4 /Athlon XP and higher

 

uname -a helps a lot
