Hi folks.
I'm trying to get WIFI working on my new DELL and I've been told to try
ndiswrappers.
I tried
yum search ndiswrapper
and varients, but nothing was found. I then found RPMs using rpmsearch and
downloaded them.
Now when I try 'yum localinstall' it adds the kernel as a dependancy,
downloads it, and then errors saying it is already installed.
If I try 'rpm -i' it fails on dependancy for /boot/vmlinuz
I've included the session log. Has anyone any suggestions?
Gary
