Happy 4th guys.. I have a centos 6.5 box with a yum update error. (I know, this is fed, but thought maybe I could get pointers here on this!) The laptop runs kernel for elrepo, to be able to use the builtin wifi. The update process, was the same as usual, as root, run "yum update" never had an issue prior to this. The error is: Total 90 kB/s | 756 MB 144:00 Running rpm_check_debug Running Transaction Test Transaction Check Error: file /lib/firmware/rtlwifi/rtl8192cfw.bin from install of kernel-firmware-2.6.32-642.1.1.el6.noarch conflicts with file from package rtlwifi-firmware-20131223git-1.el6.elrepo.noarch file /lib/firmware/rtlwifi/rtl8192cfwU_B.bin from install of kernel-firmware-2.6.32-642.1.1.el6.noarch conflicts with file from package rtlwifi-firmware-20131223git-1.el6.elrepo.noarch file /lib/firmware/rtlwifi/rtl8192defw.bin from install of kernel-firmware-2.6.32-642.1.1.el6.noarch conflicts with file from package rtlwifi-firmware-20131223git-1.el6.elrepo.noarch Error Summary ------------- so my question.. how/what do I need to do to resolve the error, and still perfom the updates and not screw up the wifi. By the way, in the event the wifi does screw up, I've got old spare usb wifi dongles, but I'd prefer to be able to use the onbard wifi. The laptop is a toshiba satellite Thanks for any pointers!
Sort of 'me too.' I have a rarely used Compaq 32-bit laptop running SL6 with the elrepo kernel-ml (3.10-ish) to get TV tuner support. I took it to a place with only wifi internet at the end of May. The wifi worked for two days and then went dead. Yesterday, with ethernet, I updated and wifi came back. I see that a new default kernel was installed at around the time it went away.
I thought I used to use the kernel-ml-firmware, but found only kernel-firmware installed, with a conflict when I tried adding ml.
'yum erase kernel-firmware; yum install kernel-ml-firmware' worked, but I saw no difference after a reboot. Reversed the order, still no difference, and still ok.
The iwl3945 firmware is in its own package.
