wireless-tools-28.pre4 has been built into rawhide and fc3-updates, FYI. Does that help the problem at all? I don't see it ! O.K. I got it from fc3. In the spec file there is a def that sais =16 I don't think it has any effect. I made it 17 and rebuilt. It seem ok. I'll test it a bit more. Of course this does not fix the rhpl dependence on the version 16 through glibc-kernheaders which contains wireless.h for Version 16. You should update Fedora Core 2 too. iwconfig reports the following after kernel update to 2.6.10-1.9_FC2: Warning: Driver for device eth1 has been compiled with version 17 of Wireless Extension, while this program is using version 16. Some things may be broken... than: I believe that kdenetwork depends on wireless-tools too, so it would need to be updated in FC2 were I to update wireless-tools to v28. Is this correct? than: and by update, I only mean recompile against the new wireless-tools since they two are ABI compatible except for the change from "libiw.so.27" -> "libiw.so.28". yes, kdenetworks needs to be rebuilt against new wireless-tools in this case I also get the "Warning: Driver for device eth1 has been compiled with version 17 of Wireless Extension, while this program is using version 16. Some things may be broken..." installed wireless-tools-27-0.pre25.3 2.6.10-1.770_FC3 NetworkManager-gnome-0.3.4-1.1.0.fc3 NetworkManager-0.3.4-1.1.0.fc3 I have kept this PC updated So why the error? The wireless-tools package needs to be updated, and then kdenetwork, NetworkManager, and system-config-network all need to be recompiled to match. The issue is that updated kernels include later versions of wireless extensions but wireless-tools doesn't match that version. A wireless-tools for FC3 was pushed which should fix this issue... wireless-tools-27-2.2.0.fc3 |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.3; Linux; X11; en_US) KHTML/3.3.2 (like Gecko) Description of problem: Kernel 2.6.10 is updated to V17 of Wireless Extension. Thus the wireless drivers are compiled with that. This results in warnings etc in system-config- network via rhpl. I am also filing a report with glibckernheaders which should be updated as well. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): wireless-tools How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.update to FC4 with 2.6.10 2.start using a wireless driver 3.system-config-network Additional info:
