Darren~
yum definitely is not finding the kernel-module-hostap rpm file.
I ran rpm -ivh on this and got:
Error: failed dependencies:
Atrpms-kmdl-helper is needed by ...
I found a link to this on the Google search site. Is this part of the meta
package 'atrpms-56-1.rhfc2.at.i386.rpm" ? I'm not sure why yum doesn't find
it, although I also found a link to a package which supposedly contains all
the yum headers as well (not sure that I need this, since yum seems to find
everything else its looking for)... Please advise.
Regards,
John

Man, if I could read, I'd be dangerous. I'm glad I went back to that
install page and looked again. I originally read .../en/_$basesearch_ (so
that's what I wrote). Reality: .../en/_$basearch_ (as in base archive ?)...
Sorry about that... Newbie panic attack. It's reading now.

I'd have to see your yum.conf...
Don't remove your other entries... just make sure you add this to bottom
of your yum.conf file.
[at-stable]
name=ATrpms for Fedora Core $releasever stable
baseurl=http://apt.physik.fu-berlin.de/fedora/$releasever/en/$basearch/at-st
able
I don't care where it is... it's the only place I've found the ipw2100
drivers all nicely packaged in RPM's for FC2 and the 2.6.6-1.435.2.3 kernel.
Besides you can still use the manual way... of surfing the atrpms.net
site and then grabbing the 6 files I mentioned before... then just use
rpm -ivh /module.rpm/ to install them.
