Please advise. Me, to end your Odyssey (and embark on another =), please do the following: o rpm -Uhv http://download.atrpms.net/other/packages/fedora-2-i386/atrpms/atrpms-kickst art-23-1.rhfc2.at.i386.rpm o apt-get update o apt-get install kernel-module-ipw2100-`uname -r` o apt-get install ipw2100 That's all. Now update your system with o apt-get upgrade o apt-get dist-upgrade After the last step you will also be able to use yum with preset entries for a dozen of repos. Note that you may get a message like yum.conf saved as yum.conf.rpmnew, which means that your copy has remained in place and you would need to manually mc/cp the rpmnew file over to the correct place. Axel~ Thanks for the input. I was able to grind my way through and get the ipw to be recognized with some other (also valuable) input. However, this seems to be a long-term solution to a number of other possible issues with yum not finding things, so it seems to be well worth investing the additional time in. I'll give this a go (as soon as I get some sleep). I'm having so much fun learning all of this that I wind up staying up most of the night reading and trying things out! Thanks again.
