Hello, I have been wrestling with the installation of akmod-ndiswrapper on my Fedora 14 64 bit machine. No matter what I do I get stopped by this message Failed dependencies: ndiswrapper-kmod-common >= 1.56 is needed by akmod-ndiswrapper-1.56-1.fc14.1.x86_64 What can I do? All of the repositories I download from show that Provides * ndiswrapper = 1.56-1.fc14 * ndiswrapper(x86-32) = 1.56-1.fc14 * ndiswrapper-kmod-common = 1.56 The thing I need is in what I am trying to install...it is getting frustrating.

Distribution specific question should be asked in the distribution specific lists or in the bug tracker of the distribution. This list is about ndiswrapper itself, not about packaging. You can try installing ndiswrapper from the source if your distribution fails to provide working packages. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin |

I would try to answer the question first before saying 'ask the question somewhere else'. "ndiswrapper(x86-32)" is the 32-bit package. So there were some mismatch about what the initial poster asked for, etc and what the package provides. Anyhow, to run the 64-bit version of ndiswrapper (with a 64-bit kernel) you need the 64-bit version of the windows driver (AFAIK), which is a bit rarer. In any case, the relevant place the initial poster need to download rpm packages are here: http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/updates/testing/14/x86_64/repoview/ndiswrapper.html and there abouts. And problem he might or might not have should be filed with http://www.rpmfusion.org/ (not fedora, since ndiswrapper is not shipped by redhat at all). Just out of curiosity, what's the wlan hardware which isn't supported by the kernel to resort to ndiswrapper? May be using wireless-testing or compat-wireless (the bleeding-edge wireless part of the kernel) is a better answer to ndiswrapper. |
