Realising that I hadn't installed lshw since I installed FC6, I tried to get it today and came up once again against the public key problem. I'll never get the hang of this :-( I followed the link on freshrpm's web page and saved the file, then ran 'rpm --import path/to/file' which appeared to put it into the right place, but still the package wouldn't install because it said there was no public key. Wondering whether the problem was because something was broken in my repo setup - out of date, perhaps - I removed the repo and reinstalled it. Still no joy. Just what is it that I have forgotten?
After trying to help a colleague who had spent the previous two evenings trying to get a wireless network card going on fc6 then ubuntu then kubuntu, and hand editing a heap of files, I asked him if he had tried freshrpms - Not. No shell required !

- firefox freshrpms.net
- click on: The easiest way to install freshrpms.net packages is to "click here". - Let it open in software installer, or if you have defaulted to save to disk, save it and then click on the resulting rpm {opening in software installer}
- click OK.
- site can not be confirmed: do you want to install ? yes.
This gets the -release installed and the rpm key imported.
- pirut
- search eg ipw2200-firmware
- click the checkbox to add, OK.
- done :)

If no gui available then from memory the following just works, whereas yum wont autoimport the key: # rpm -Uvh http://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/freshrpms/fedora/linux/6/freshrpms-release/freshrpms-release-1.1-1.fc.noarch.rpm
