Description of problem: I'm using a Dell Inspiron 6400, and to enable Wi-Fi, I installed ndiswrapper and kmod-ndiswrapper. Everything is good and Wi-Fi works. But when a newer version of kernel is available, when using yum update kernel, it processes the kmod-ndiswrapper and kmod-fglrx and decides to install the older version of kernel, which is the same as installed one and the same as kmod-fglrx and kmod-ndiswrapper. But it can not find that kernel version on repos. The same thing happens using yum update kmod-ndiswrapper or yum update kmod-fglrx. My yum related packages versions are yum-refresh-updatesd-1.1.8-1.fc8 yum-fastestmirror-1.1.8-1.fc8 yum-3.2.7-1.fc8 yum-metadata-parser-1.1.2-1.fc8 yum-utils-1.1.8-1.fc8 yum-updatesd-0.7-1.fc8 and kernel version : kernel-2.6.23.1-35.fc8 kernel-devel-2.6.23.1-35.fc8 kernel-headers-2.6.23.1-35.fc8 and kmod : kmod-fglrx-2.6.23.1-42.fc8-8.35.3-6.lvn8 kmod-ndiswrapper-2.6.23.1-35.fc8-1.48-14.lvn8 and the available versions of kernel on repos where : 2.6.23.1-42 But when I downloaded last versions of kernel, kernel-devel, kernel-headers, kmod-fglrx, kmod-ndiswrapper and installed them in the correct order using rpm -i, they were installed with no errors. And after rebooting the system and booting with the new kernel, everything was fine. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: It's reproducible using those versions I wrote. Currently latest versions. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Have ndiswrapper and kmod-ndiswrapper and kmod-fglrx installed on your system. 2.Try to update kernel. Actual results: (I missed the result) But it said that the dependencis are missing (Because it was trying to find older versions of kernel) Expected results: Work fine and update kernel. Additional info:
there is no need to update ndiswrapper package to make things work fine, kmod-ndiswrapper update is sufficient.
You have to install the yum-fedorakmod plugin to make the kmod update work right.
from the slightly unclear description this looks a lot like 330711; closing as dup (In reply to comment #2) > You have to install the yum-fedorakmod plugin to make the kmod update work right. @tim: No, it should work fine without it. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 330711 ***
