I'm running fc3 on my computer and almost ready to upgrade to fc4. I have a wireless card using madwifi from atrpms.net. If I upgrade to fc4, I'll be running 2.6.11-1.1369. Axel's web site only has a prebuilt module for the latest 2.6.12 kernels and I haven't been able to find any old modules on the net. Trying to build the module using the source rpm gets me this:

$ rpmbuild -bb madwifi-0.9.4.12-16.rhfc4.at.spec
error: line 1: Unknown tag: %kmdl madwifi


So, my choices are the following:

1. Figure out how to build the module from the source rpm. Anyone know what I'm missing to build it?


It has been a while since I had this same problem with building atrpms from srpm. I thinks you need the rpm from http://atrpms.net/dist/common/atrpms/
I am not sure, but try installing that before you rebuild one of his SRPMS.


It looks like I'm missing the macros for kernel module building because I still get the same error. I've posted a request on the atrpms mail list.
