Can you list the output of: rpm -q --whatprovides /lib/firmware/carl9170-1.fw As far as I know, Fedora doesn't actually ship that file but the above command could always prove me wrong. If you downloaded it yourself, then you need to use the firmware for the 3.1 and newer kernel. The Fedora 2.6.4x kernels are really 3.x kernels renamed. 'rpm -q --whatprovides /lib/firmware/carl9170-1.fw' shows: file /lib/firmware/carl9170-1.fw is not owned by any package > If you downloaded it yourself, then you need to use the firmware for the 3.1 > and newer kernel. > Yes I did download it myself (from http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/carl9170#Firmware-1 ). I was going by the kernel versions listed there, so used the 2.6.x kernel version. > The Fedora 2.6.4x kernels are really 3.x kernels renamed. > Ah! I did not know that. I'll try the '3.1 and newer' kernel version. Hurrah! The 3.1 kernel version firmware seems to work fine. The firmware has loaded, and I have a network interface created. Many thanks for your help. Great, glad it's working for you. |
