Rahul,

ipw3945-ucode was never installed. So rpm -e ipw3945-ucode did nothing. I have two version of ipw3945-firmware installed: 1.13-1.nodist.rf and 1.13-1.

Hi List,
I have been using instructions--http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/ Installing_Fedora_Core_6_on_a_ThinkPad_T60 to install wireless. I have an updated version of fc6 x86_64. When I run 'yum --enablerepo=atrpms install ipw3945' I get the output listed below. It looks like the update for the system is ahead of the package ipw3945. How do I proceed? Any comments would be greatly appreciated.
Transaction Check Error:

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

Did you mean ipw3945-firmware? Which is the correct version. Should I be able to find ipw3945.ko installed? I don't see it. Thanks for getting back.

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

Rahul
