The ndis modules up at Livna are now up to date. Why not just load
them:
[root@canyon ~]# yum list | grep ndis

ndiswrapper.i386 1.13-1.lvn5 installed
kmod-ndiswrapper.i586 1.13-1.1.2.6.16_1.2096 livna
kmod-ndiswrapper-kdump.i686 1.13-1.1.2.6.16_1.2096 livna
kmod-ndiswrapper-smp.i686 1.13-1.1.2.6.16_1.2096 livna
That won't "make" without kernel-devel-2.6.16-1.2096_FC5 which I haven't
been able to find. Google yields
**kernel-devel-2.6.16-1.2096_FC5.x86_64.rpm which I'm afraid is not the
right rpm?
It should be right there in "updates-released"...
[root@canyon ~]# yum list | grep kernel
kernel.i686 2.6.16-1.2096_FC5 installed
kernel-devel.i686 2.6.16-1.2096_FC5 installed
kernel-xen0.i686 2.6.16-1.2096_FC5 installed
kernel-xen0-devel.i686 2.6.16-1.2096_FC5 installed
My "yum update" found it with no problem and installed it. Have you
tried "yum install kernel-devel"? What happened?
I need to download the correct rpm to this computer and sftp it to box4.
Can someone tell me where to find the right file?
Best thing... If all you need is ndiswrapper, install the packages
from Livna.
Thanks. Bob Goodwin

Ok, I got over my panic and rebooted to the older kernel
[2.6.15-1.2054_FC5] and ndiswrapper was good again. Then tried yum
install kernel-devel expecting that it would collect the version for the
older kernel being used but it looks like it went for the newest
although the screen is once more "frozen" leaving me no keyboard or
mouse! That happened to me several times last evening attempting to do
a complete update and I quit, this morning I was able to update the
kernel alone without a problem. I'm hoping the update will cure this
problem if I ever get it done?
"The ndis modules up at Livna are now up to date. Why not just load
them:"
I guess I should try that?
Thanks for the help.
