>From: <ero...@ya...> > 2)... In a general sense, is the method suggested by Bill Moss's more >likely to work correctly than an rpm firmware solution? You are *much* better off building your own drivers in this case. The Fedora updates lag too far behind the development and wireless technology is very complicated. Bill's instructions look excellent. And you are getting good advice on fedoraforum.org. >Is it easier to maintain? No. Building drivers is more tedious than "yum update". By now I can almost build them with my eyes closed. :-) A couple of specific suggestions: Turn off selinux (you posted a bunch of "avc: denied" msgs on fedoraforum.org). Be sure you have the version of initscripts recommended by Bill. # yum --enablerepo=updates-testing install initscripts And to repeat what you heard on fedoraforum.org: The firmware *must* match the driver. http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/firmware.php Steve _________________________________________________________________ Is your PC infected?
