#524: Missing dependency error message when trying to install madwifi ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Reporter: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: madwifi: driver | Version: Keywords: | Patch_attached: 0 ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Can you help please? I am a Linux newbie and am trying to get my wireless working on my Compaq nc6000 laptop which is using an Atheros chipset. I am using Fedora Core 5. You will need to be very specific as today was my first experience of Linux, so I really am a "very newbie" ;-) Many thanks for any help you can provide...
I get the following error message when I run the "madwifi-0.9.6.0-20.rhfc5.at.i386.rpm" file from http://atrpms.net/dist/fc5/madwifi "Error resolving dependencies. Missing Dependency: madwifi- kmdl-0.9.6.0-20.rhfc5.at is needed by package madwifi".
