For those bitten by the same bug: (1) If not already installed, Yast install: kernel-syms-2.6.22.16-0.1 (2) download madwifi-0.9.3.3-0.1.src.rpm from: http://madwifi.org/suse/10.3/src/madwifi-0.9.3.3-0.1.src.rpm (3) check current madwifi version if different, as root remove existing madwifi: rpm -e $(rpm -qa | grep madwifi) (4) as root, rpmbuild --rebuild madwifi-0.9.3.3-0.1.src.rpm (5) as root, modprobe ath_pci && depmod -A (6) rcnetwork restart (not really required, but never hurts) That will get you going. -- David C.

David... I tried that but when I got to # 5, the result was that it couldn't find the module "ath_pci" :-( -- Kevin "Yo" Dupuy | Public Mail Hope for America: Ron Paul for President. www.RonPaul2008.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

After step 4, add this: cp /usr/src/packages/RPMS/i586/madwifi-kmp-default-0.9.3.3_2.6.22.16_0.1-0.1.i586.rpm . rpm -ivh madwifi-kmp-default-0.9.3.3_2.6.22.16_0.1-0.1.i586.rpm Or I suppose that you could just navigate to /usr/src//RPMS/i586/ and install it from there. Adjust above to match your kernel. ls /usr/src/packages/RPMS/i586/ to see the choices.

Unless the package explicitly supports the parallel installation of different versions (and most of the time even then you don't want), you want 'rpm -Uvh' , not -ivh, i.e. you want to replace the existing package.

Ah, yes. In my case, I had previously let smart remove the old madwifi, so I used rpm -ivh. So you are correct, if madwifi is still installed, -Uvh it is! Al -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
