Description Edouard Bourguignon 2008-08-21 08:42:04 UTC
Description of problem:
I can't find the iwl5000-firmware for Fedora 10 (rawhide).

When you install Fedora 10 alpha or boot on the LiveCD, the firmware iwlwifi-5000 failed to load with reason -2 (seems it means the file is missing in /lib/firmware). So wireless connections are impossible :(

Package iwl5000-firmware is listed here in the bugzilla but I can't find it in any repository. (btw koji seems down)

How reproducible:
static

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install/boot Fedora 10 alpha
2. Wifi doesn't work
3. dmesg|grep iwlwifi-5000
  
Actual results:
The kernel can't find the iwlwifi-5000.ucode in /lib/firmware.

Expected results:
Maybe this package/firmware should be provided in the liveCD and in the repositories.

Additional info:
Manual install of the firmware seems to make kernel oops when NetworkManager start with kernel-2.6.27-0.244.rc2.git1.fc10.x86_64.

Comment 1 Nicolas Chauvet (kwizart) 2008-08-21 09:20:06 UTC
There is two different problems from this bug report.
- On the first side, iwl5000-firmware has been recently introducted in the Fedora repositories but is currently available only in F-8 testing:
ftp://ftp.free.fr/mirrors/fedora.redhat.com/fedora/linux/updates/testing/8/i386/iwl5000-firmware-5.4.A.11-2.noarch.rpm
(This is a package without a dist tag, so you can use this one for Rawhide)
It will hit the Rawhide repository on next push according to bodhi
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/F8/FEDORA-2008-7122
So I will close this bug as a duplicate of the review request on bug 455032

- On the other side. you have experienced a kernel oops. This kind of problem have to be reported to the kernel along with the relevant information.
Unless you have already done that, please submit a bug against the kernel.

Thx for your report.
