ok... here's the situation now... i've got a dell inspiron 8000 laptop.. (a few years old). i'm trying to get a netgear wg511t wireless card to run. i've put FC4 on the system, and did a: "yum update" to update the complete system, with all the underlying functions. i then did a: "yum install madwifi madwifi-kmdl-2111_FC4" and the system appeared to go through the motions and install the madwifi apps.. a "rpm -qa mad*" shows that i now have madwifi rpms installed on the system. i then did a "mod_probe ath_pci" finally, i went to the; "system tools->internet connection wizard->wireless connection" where i only saw the "other wireless card" i can't seem to figure out how to get the card/adapter connection to appear" any help would be greatly appreciated!!! thanks -bruce -----Original Message----- From: Axel Thimm [mailto:thimm@xxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Axel Thimm Sent: Saturday, June 10, 2006 3:47 PM To: bedouglas@xxxxxxxxxxxxx; For users of Fedora Core releases Cc: 'Filianx' Subject: Re: getting a wireless netgear WG511T card to work on FC On Sat, Jun 10, 2006 at 12:10:40PM -0700, bruce wrote: > 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?.. Yes, update first to the latets kernel, then point your depsolver (yum/apt/smart/...) to ATrpms (see http://atrpms.net/install.html) and simply do yum install madwifi madwifi-kmdl-`uname -r` > any thoughts/help would be greatly appreciated... > > thanks > > -bruce > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Axel Thimm [mailto:thimm@xxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Axel Thimm > Sent: Tuesday, June 06, 2006 10:26 PM > To: bedouglas@xxxxxxxxxxxxx; For users of Fedora Core releases > Cc: 'Filianx' > Subject: Re: getting a wireless netgear WG511T card to work on FC > > > On Tue, Jun 06, 2006 at 11:59:44AM -0700, bruce wrote: > > duh!!! > > > > sorry about that.. i know that there are RPMs..
