yum definitely is not finding the kernel-module-hostap rpm file.
I ran rpm -ivh on this and got:
Error: failed dependencies:
Atrpms-kmdl-helper is needed by ...
I found a link to this on the Google search site. Is this part of the meta
package 'atrpms-56-1.rhfc2.at.i386.rpm" ? I'm not sure why yum doesn't find
it, although I also found a link to a package which supposedly contains all
the yum headers as well (not sure that I need this, since yum seems to find
everything else its looking for)... Please advise.
Regards,
John

Man, if I could read, I'd be dangerous. I'm glad I went back to that
install page and looked again. I originally read .../en/_$basesearch_ (so
that's what I wrote). Reality: .../en/_$basearch_ (as in base archive ?)...
Sorry about that... Newbie panic attack. It's reading now.

I'd have to see your yum.conf...
Don't remove your other entries... just make sure you add this to bottom
of your yum.conf file.
[at-stable]
name=ATrpms for Fedora Core $releasever stable
baseurl=http://apt.physik.fu-berlin.de/fedora/$releasever/en/$basearch/at-st
able
I don't care where it is... it's the only place I've found the ipw2100
drivers all nicely packaged in RPM's for FC2 and the 2.6.6-1.435.2.3 kernel.
Besides you can still use the manual way... of surfing the atrpms.net
site and then grabbing the 6 files I mentioned before... then just use
rpm -ivh /module.rpm/ to install them.

I guessed at the first entry in yum.conf (which was wrong). Thanks for the
update. I entered the line in yum.conf exactly as below (why a German
server?) and got the following output from yum:
Gathering header...
Server: ATrpms for Fedora...
Retrygrab() failed for:
http://apt.physik.de/fedora/2/en/$basesearch/at-stable/headers/header.info
Executing failover method
Failover: out of servers to try
Error getting file http://<repeat-of-above>
[Errno 4] IOerror: HTTP error 404: Not Found
Did I type this wrong, or is the server really busy?
Thanks for the help.
John

That's okay. We're all learning. Darren's reply was most helpful
regarding which pieces to put in place, but I think I need to
configure my yum.conf file to go to the atrpms servers for these
pieces. Do you have any knowledge of how to get yum to do this?

John

Thanks for the reply. The exact output from uname -r gives:
2.6.6-1.435.2.3
The output from uname -a gives:
Lnux nebo 2.6.6-1.435.2.3 #1 Thu Jul 1 08:25:29 EDT 2004 i686 i686
i386 GNU/Linux
Hence the confusion.
I hope you can help. I'm a little confused by the combination of
i686 and i386.
Regards
John

Hey, John --
Type **uname -r** it will tell you which kernel you are actually
running, both the Linux version and the Redhat release.
i586 or i686 are kernel versions. if you are running the i386
kernel, _EVEN IF YOU HAVE AN i686 CPU_, you must use the i386 RPMs.

I am trying to install the ipw2100 wireless on my Insprion
8600 notebook.
I originally installed FC2 2.6.5-1.358, and have since then
upgraded to 2.6.6.1-435.2.3 using up2date. When I run the make
file (builds external) I get an error saying that ieee802_11.h
is not found. The file exists under the /usr/src directory for
the original kernel. My guess is that I need to download the
source for the kernel I updated to. I have found the packages
for both kernel-source and the modules, but they are listed as
i586 and i686 (there are 64-bit as well, but I don't have that
system type). Can anyone tell me which of these I should get?
I am somewhat new at this, so any input is appreciated.
Regards,
John

Go to this link:
http://www.atrpms.net/install.html
This shows you how to modify your existing yum.conf file to use
atrpms.net as a resource.
Basically you need to add this to the bottom of your /etc/yum.conf file:
| [at-stable]
name=ATrpms for Fedora Core $releasever stable
baseurl=http://apt.physik.fu-berlin.de/fedora/$releasever/en/$basearch/at-s
