stanituo Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Hi, I've a Mandriva 2008.1 and recently I've updated my kernel to the new 2.6.24.7-laptop-3mnb. Since this update the wireless card doesn't work. If I try to enable it from netapplet the system say: Could not install the packages (madwifi-kernel-2.6.24.7-desktop586-1mnb, madwifi-kernel-2.6.24.7-desktop586-2mnb, madwifi-kernel-2.6.24.7-laptop-1mnb, madwifi-kernel-2.6.24.7-server-2mnb, madwifi-kernel-2.6.24.7-laptop-2mnb, madwifi-kernel-2.6.24.7-server-1mnb, dkms-madwifi)! and than: Some packages (madwifi) are required but aren't available. These packages can be found in Mandriva Linux One, Mandriva Linux Powerpack, or in the official non-free package repository. The following component is missing: ath_pci The required files can also be installed from this URL: http://madwifi.org/ Now, I guess you: wath can I do to install this ath_pci module ? I give you all info you need to solve my problem. My wireless card is: # lspci | grep Atheros 03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5212 802.11abg NIC (rev 01) Thanks to all for your patience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedball2 Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 These packages can be found in Mandriva Linux One, Mandriva Linux Powerpack, or in the official non-free package repository. Have you enabled the official non-free package repository? Use the EasyURPMI link at the top of the page if not. Maybe that helps? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanituo Posted September 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 Have you enabled the official non-free package repository? Yes, I have this configuration: # cat /etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg ... Non-free ftp://fr2.rpmfind.net/linux/Mandrakelinux/official/2008.1/i586/media/non-free/release { key-ids: 70771ff3 } ... and # urpmi --auto-update medium "Main" is up-to-date medium "Main Updates" is up-to-date medium "Contrib" is up-to-date medium "Contrib Updates" is up-to-date medium "Contrib Backports" is up-to-date medium "Non-free" is up-to-date medium "Non-free Updates" is up-to-date medium "Non-free Backports" is up-to-date medium "PLF Free" is up-to-date medium "PLF Non-free" is up-to-date Packages are up to date Any suggestion?

speedball2 Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 Could not install the packages (madwifi-kernel-2.6.24.7-desktop586-1mnb, madwifi-kernel-2.6.24.7-desktop586-2mnb, madwifi-kernel-2.6.24.7-laptop-1mnb, madwifi-kernel-2.6.24.7-server-2mnb, madwifi-kernel-2.6.24.7-laptop-2mnb, madwifi-kernel-2.6.24.7-server-1mnb, dkms-madwifi)! I think it couldn't install them because they're all the wrong version. Looking here the kernel-laptop-2.6.24.7-3mnb-1-1mnb1.i586.rpm was released on 14/09/09 but there is no updated madwifi-kernel rpm to go with it. Maybe Mandriva haven't got around to it yet. :) You could try manually installing kernel-devel-latest and dkms-madwifi. Not sure if that will help though.
