I would suggest sticking with a pre-built rpm if the binaries are giving you grief (I've used both without trouble, FWIW). I don't have a clue how to tell you to get back to a clean system, you're on your own to undo whatever you've tried so far. :) To use the rpm's kindly provided by Axel Thimm, enable the ATrpms repo by creating /etc/yum.repos.d/atrpms.repo. Mine looks like this: [atrpms] name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - ATrpms baseurl=http://dl.atrpms.net/fc$releasever-$basearch/atrpms/stable enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 includepkgs=ieee80211-kmdl* ipw3945* lirc* yum-plugin-kmdl I have the includepkgs line because I only want a few of the many many packages available from ATrpms. Next, install the ATrpms GPG Key: rpm --import http://ATrpms.net/RPM-GPG-KEY.atrpms Then, install the ipw3945 module for your kernel (yum will take care of the dependencies): yum install ipw3945-kmdl-$(uname -r) AFAIK, the rpms don't take care of starting the required regulatory daemon, so you'll want to start that up. You can put it in /etc/rc.local if you like: # start the ipw3945 daemon /sbin/ipw3945d --quiet HTH, - -- Todd OpenPGP -> KeyID: 0xBEAF0CE3 | URL: www.pobox.com/~tmz/pgp ====================================================================== When I think about all the crap I learned in high school ... it's a wonder I can think at all. -- Paul Simon -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) iQFDBAEBAgAtBQJE6oZ4JhhodHRwOi8vd3d3LnBvYm94LmNvbS9+dG16L3BncC90 bXouYXNjAAoJEEMlk4u+rwzjjPQH/jK81c4Lwwm5/DkEyRUJQ1Tc3oQzPL6yLH+B XEcV730bMzS3tT+OQEw3mOE+0EceJawul45sffnpFP0AvSx5WdIgibctJhiqu+P+ qiEFYG8ZaxgquMaLgvW9dkhWDFUPQsXKZ6IrMPBcUz1IA79sbJG+ymOYNEW/NLn6 zEzi1Xm4nbKodjrxqxda/nmmWHyoQlYqHIO21TS2Ya6WnxqA2U8yX24nKajSR4+b jcbk4OrQSsWCgbnNcfjI8Ss8y7iilg1333MDCkElI9oJMS3zofVWLNrTd7aBh4yv 5rg5xXSuSewNOxlGwl1bMJT+Qaf/pJoMMjszIhZU2IH+HjGZ1HQ= =bmVz -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
