I found a link to this on the Google search site. Is this part of the meta package 'atrpms-56-1.rhfc2.at.i386.rpm" ? I'm not sure why yum doesn't find it, although I also found a link to a package which supposedly contains all the yum headers as well (not sure that I need this, since yum seems to find everything else its looking for)... Please advise.

Darren~ Man, if I could read, I'd be dangerous. I'm glad I went back to that install page and looked again. I originally read .../en/_$basesearch_ (so that's what I wrote). Reality: .../en/_$basearch_ (as in base archive ?)... Sorry about that... Newbie panic attack. It's reading now.

I'd have to see your yum.conf...
Don't remove your other entries... just make sure you add this to bottom of your yum.conf file.
[at-stable] name=ATrpms for Fedora Core $releasever stable baseurl=http://apt.physik.fu-berlin.de/fedora/$releasever/en/$basearch/at-st able
I don't care where it is... it's the only place I've found the ipw2100 drivers all nicely packaged in RPM's for FC2 and the 2.6.6-1.435.2.3 kernel.
Besides you can still use the manual way... of surfing the atrpms.net site and then grabbing the 6 files I mentioned before... then just use rpm -ivh /module.rpm/ to install them.

[mailto:fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx]Darren~ I guessed at the first entry in yum.conf (which was wrong). Thanks for the update. I entered the line in yum.conf exactly as below (why a German server?) and got the following output from yum: Gathering header... Server: ATrpms for Fedora... Retrygrab() failed for: http://apt.physik.de/fedora/2/en/$basesearch/at-stable/headers/header.info Executing failover method Failover: out of servers to try Error getting file http://<repeat-of-above> [Errno 4] IOerror: HTTP error 404: Not Found
Did I type this wrong, or is the server really busy?
Thanks for the help.

Vlad~
That's okay. We're all learning. Darren's reply was most helpful regarding which pieces to put in place, but I think I need to configure my yum.conf file to go to the atrpms servers for these pieces. Do you have any knowledge of how to get yum to do this?

John

Vlad~
Thanks for the reply. The exact output from uname -r gives: 2.6.6-1.435.2.3
The output from uname -a gives:
Lnux nebo 2.6.6-1.435.2.3 #1 Thu Jul 1 08:25:29 EDT 2004 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
Hence the confusion.
I hope you can help. I'm a little confused by the combination of i686 and i386.
Regards
John

Hey, John --
Type **uname -r** it will tell you which kernel you are actually running, both the Linux version and the Redhat release. i586 or i686 are kernel versions. if you are running the i386 kernel, _EVEN IF YOU HAVE AN i686 CPU_, you must use the i386 RPMs.

I am trying to install the ipw2100 wireless on my Insprion 8600 notebook.
I originally installed FC2 2.6.5-1.358, and have since then upgraded to 2.6.6.1-435.2.3 using up2date. When I run the make file (builds external) I get an error saying that ieee802_11.h is not found. The file exists under the /usr/src directory for the original kernel. My guess is that I need to download the source for the kernel I updated to. I have found the packages for both kernel-source and the modules, but they are listed as i586 and i686 (there are 64-bit as well, but I don't have that system type). Can anyone tell me which of these I should get? I am somewhat new at this, so any input is appreciated.
Regards,
John

Go to this link:
http://www.atrpms.net/install.html
This shows you how to modify your existing yum.conf file to use atrpms.net as a resource.
Basically you need to add this to the bottom of your /etc/yum.conf file:
| [at-stable]
name=ATrpms for Fedora Core $releasever stable
baseurl=http://apt.physik.fu-berlin.de/fedora/$releasever/en/$basearch/at-s
able
|
#yum install atrpms
That's all you have to do... or you can use apt-get as suggested. Whatever your preference is.
