Description
We need the ability to install drivers that Fedora does not include.
It looks like we will need a network driver for the Computer Lab computers at the Gardener School so this is a blocker for the SoaS pilot.

A bit more background... there will inevitably be drivers that are not shipped with Fedora. We should define a procedure for installing such drivers (perhaps on a master key that a teacher uses to replicate).

- Status changed from new to assigned
I'm guessing this is about SoaS as Sugar doesn't deal with any hardware at all (regardless of what some people say to the press).

We're adhering Fedora's policy of shipping packages. People who need additional drivers are encouraged to install them or to create a customized spin. The latter one is documented here (but slightly out of date): http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_on_a_Stick/Customization
For example the Broadcom chip set.
