Lots closer but not there yet... All goes well to begin with except I used kernel-devel not kernel-devel.i386 since yum couldn't find that. I also had to delete and recreate the build link to point to /usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-1.2798.fc6-i686 instead of i586 - not sure where that original error came from.
No surprise that make rm fialed. However, I can't solve the problem that causes the the last stage of the "make clean all modules_install ins" to produce the errors listed below. Also, yum can't help with module firmware_class - again, see bottom of listing below. <SNIP> [EMAIL PROTECTED] zd1211rw_2006-11-07]# make rm rmmod zd1211rw ERROR: Module zd1211rw does not exist in /proc/modules make: *** [rm] Error 1 [EMAIL PROTECTED] zd1211rw_2006-11-07]# make clean all modules_install ins rm -f Modules.symvers make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build M=`pwd` clean make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-1.2798.fc6-i686' make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-1.2798.fc6-i686' make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build M=`pwd` make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-1.2798.fc6-i686' LD /lib/firmware/zd1211rw_2006-11-07/built-in.o CC [M] /lib/firmware/zd1211rw_2006-11-07/zd_netdev.o CC [M] /lib/firmware/zd1211rw_2006-11-07/zd_mac.o CC [M] /lib/firmware/zd1211rw_2006-11-07/zd_chip.o CC [M] /lib/firmware/zd1211rw_2006-11-07/zd_usb.o CC [M] /lib/firmware/zd1211rw_2006-11-07/zd_rf.o CC [M] /lib/firmware/zd1211rw_2006-11-07/zd_ieee80211.o CC [M] /lib/firmware/zd1211rw_2006-11-07/zd_rf_rf2959.o CC [M] /lib/firmware/zd1211rw_2006-11-07/zd_rf_al2230.o CC [M] /lib/firmware/zd1211rw_2006-11-07/zd_rf_al7230b.o CC [M] /lib/firmware/zd1211rw_2006-11-07/zd_util.o LD [M] /lib/firmware/zd1211rw_2006-11-07/zd1211rw.o Building modules, stage 2.

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?
