Hi List,
I have been usinginstructions--http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Installing_Fedora_Core_6_on_a_ThinkPad_T60to install wireless. I have an updated version of fc6 x86_64. When I run
'yum --enablerepo=atrpms install ipw3945' I get the output listedbelow. It looks like the update for the system is ahead of the packageipw3945. How do I proceed? Any comments would be greatly appreciated.
Transaction Check Error:
package kernel-2.6.20-1.2948.fc6 (which is newer thankernel-2.6.20-1.2944.fc6) is already installedfile /lib/firmware/ipw3945.ucode from install ofipw3945-ucode-1.14.2-4.at conflicts with file from packageipw3945-firmware-1.13-1

# rpm -e ipw3945-ucode. This package is not in the official repository.The official package is called ip3945-firmware. Install that instead.

Alternatively add exclude=ip3945-firware* to /etc/yum.conf if you wantto retain the third party repository package.
