I don't think you can "yum install ieee80211" since it is not a separate stand-alone package but rather part of the kernel package. It seems like something is not build/compile right. Maybe you can try re-installing the "kernel-devel" package along with the latest zd1211rw snapshots (firmware and kernel module) from http://www.deine-taler.de/zd1211/snapshots/ if you can. Here are my notes for building zd1211rw on Fedora Core:
yum groupinstall developement-tools yum install kernel-devel.x86_64 # or "kernel-devel.i386" for 32bits kernel or "kernel-xen-devel.x8_64" for xen enabled kernel wget http://www.deine-taler.de/zd1211/snapshots/zd1211rw_fw_2006-11-07.tar.bz2 wget http://www.deine-taler.de/zd1211/snapshots/zd1211rw_2006-11-07.tar.bz2 tar -vxjf zd1211rw_fw_2006-11-07.tar.bz2 tar -vxjf zd1211rw_2006-11-07.tar.bz2 cd *fw*07 ; make clean all install cd ../*07 ; make rm ; make clean all modules_install ins # remove and re-attached the USB stick # check to make sure the driver/firmware is loaded dmesg | grep -e usb -e 1211 # test and report bugs eric ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
