ATrpms provides support for RHEL5 kernels in form of kmdls, there is no need for the kernel to support ipw3945, i.e. the same situation exists like for RHEL4 or FCX where the kernel also hasn't ipw3945 patched in and is supported by kmdls. Similar for other kernelland parts. The drawback is that ATrpms hasn't yet an rhn feed for RHEL5 update packages. There is some process to get entitlements for ATrpms, and when that happens ATrpms will closely track RHEL5 beta and of course RHEL5 proper kernel releases. I case anyone want to sponsor entitlements to ATrpms don't hesitate, that would speed up the process, of course. Other than the entitlements everything else is already in place. > MJang wrote: > >On Sat, 2006-11-11 at 11:09 +0100, Grant Williamson wrote: > > > >>Can anyone tell me the current status of IPW3945 support in rhel5? > >> > >>i.e. this ... > >> > >>* Wed Nov 01 2006 Don Zickus <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [2.6.18-1.2740.el5] > >>- Remove support for ipw3945 driver (Don Zickus) [195534] > >> > > > >I don't understand what you're referring to, but I'm using atrpms > >packages atop RHEL 5 beta 1 to run the ipw3945 wireless.
