TOPIC: Upgrade kernel to enable PS3 WiFi under Linux

---

Introduction
There are 3 methods to upgrading the kernel for WiFi, and 3 associated HOWTOs, this being the first.

• This HOWTO (the one you are now reading) is for a semi-automated kernel upgrade, and assumes your PS3 has a LAN (ethernet) connection to the Internet, under YDL.
  
  
• This HOWTO guides you through upgrading the kernel where your PS3 under Linux does NOT have an internet connection, and requires the use of an additional personal computer and USB key or CD-R.
  
  
• This HOWTO guides you through upgrading the kernel using the command line. This is for Linux savvy, advanced users.

WARNING!: This kernel upgrade is beta software and is not recommended in a production environment.

WARNING!: This script re-writes your kboot.conf which may render your system useless.

Upgrade the kernel, the semi-automated method

1. Open a terminal window by clicking on the Yellow Dog icon on the task bar, then Applications --> Accessories --> Gnome Terminal
