Re: Help with HP Pavilian - Again

[S. Feldman]

HP Pavilian dv8280us CoreDuo T2400 2G RAM, wireless card (which does
work in XP). Just installed FC-6. Everything seems to work properly
except the wireless network card. (I have yet to try a modem-based
connection, but I expect it to work as I had that working in FC-4.) FC-4
had had a problem seeing (hearing? ;-) ) the audio card but eventually
'found' it; with FC-6 installed it found it right away.

I desparately wanna get this thing working! TIA for all help.

I guess it does not have the kmod-ipw3945 needed by ipw3945-kmod-common

No. These above are _all_ packages needed to run ipw3945.
kmod-* and *-kmdl are just different naming conventions. I guess livna or 
freshrpms could have this packaged named in such a manner.

So basically: ipw3945-kmdl-<kernel_version> and kmod-ipw3945-<kernel_version> 
is just the same content. So You don't need both of them.
Just enable atrpms repository and do:

# yum install ipw3945-kmdl-2.6.18-1.2849.fc6 ieee80211-kmdl-2.6.18-1.2849.fc6

and that should be enough.
