Re: [Madwifi-users] Building Madwifi

[Ken R. <ram...@gm...>]

Correction...

I just did an rpm -q on the kernel sources and it says that they are NOT=20
installed. So... I tried rpm -i and it behaved as if the kernel sources wer=
e=20
successfully installed. Doing another rpm -q, however, shows that they are=
=20
NOT installed.

What's going on? The package I am trying to install is:=20
kernel-2.6.12-1.1372_FC3.src.rpm.

Thanks.
