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.

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

Any suggestion?

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.
