[opensuse] BUG: kernel 2.6.22.16-0.1-default Breaks Atheros Wireless

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

Yast's Solution "delete kernel-default". WTF?
