Re: [Madwifi-users] Cannot modload the modules - Ubiquto SRC 300mW 802.11 a/b/g MMCX card

[LOEWENTHAL S. <slo...@ge...>]

Dear all,

I have removed the packages below and tried to install the RPMs once 
more following the instructions found on the madwifi.org page:
# yum install madwifi madwifi-kmdl-`uname -r`
This installed these RPMs:


  Installing: madwifi-kmdl-2.6.17-1.2157_F ######################### [1/3]
  Installing: madwifi-hal-kmdl-2.6.17-1.21 ######################### [2/3]
  Installing: madwifi                      ######################### [3/3]

Installed: madwifi.i386 1:0.9.1-24.rhfc5.at 
madwifi-kmdl-2.6.17-1.2157_FC5smp.i686 1:0.9.1-24.rhfc5.at
Dependency Installed: madwifi-hal-kmdl-2.6.17-1.2157_FC5smp.i686 
1:0.9.1-24.rhfc5.at
Complete!

...But when I attempt to install madwifi-kmod I get a dependancy failure:

Parsing package install arguments
Resolving Dependencies

---> Package kmod-madwifi.i686 0:0.9.0-1.2.6.17_1.2157_FC5 set to be 
installed
--> Running transaction check

kmod-madwifi
--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: Missing Dependency: madwifi-kmod-common >= 0.9.0 is needed by 
package kmod-madwifi

 I cannot find madwifi-kmod-common anywhere on the web.
Could someone please tell me where it is?

Cheers, S.
