rockets Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 I made a clean install of Mandriva 2006 on to a new hp nx6110 laptop using the free download dvd. During install I got : "missing /mnt/lib/hotplug/firmware/ipw-2.3*.fw" Get from http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/firmware.php I hooked up the wired lan and downloaded the tar to my user desktop from sourceforge and do not know how to install the driver. I tried to ark it and get a message indicating I do not have write permission, so I tried to ark it as root and can only access root files not user files. My apologies, for a simple question but it has me in a tailspin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qchem Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 Where did you try to untar it to? You should aim for somewhere in your home directory although you will probably need to be root to install the firmware anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
