RE: getting a wireless netgear WG511T card to work on FC

ok...

i've finally managed to get the system rebuilt with the FC4 apps installed.
the "uname -r" --> 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4

i've taken a look at the www.atrpms.com site for the madwifi rpms. in the
fc4/madwifi (madwifing) i see a number of rpms for both 1386/1686..

i'm not sure which ones i need for my FC version. do i need to do an update
of my FC?..

any thoughts/help would be greatly appreciated...

thanks

-bruce

The easiest is to let smart/yum/apt do their job with something like

yum install madwifi madwifi-`uname -r`

(you need to activate atrpms in your depsolver setup).

If you need to download by hand then probably you will need (for i686,
non-smp, non-xen0):

http://dl.atrpms.net/all/madwifi-0.9.0-23.rhfc5.at.i386.rpm
http://dl.atrpms.net/all/madwifi-kmdl-2.6.16-1.2122_FC5-0.9.0-23.rhfc5.at.i6
86.rpm
http://dl.atrpms.net/all/madwifi-hal-kmdl-2.6.16-1.2122_FC5-0.9.0-23.rhfc5.a
t.i686.rpm
