on c4, anaconda has no idea about additional repositories of software. 
So the way I would do this is to put my files on the install media ( 
since you say CD's I am guessing that media is local to the install 
target machine ). and in %post use yum from within the chrooted install 
to access the packages and do the install. If its a case of only 1 rpm, 
you may as well just use rpm directly with --installroot

This should give you a few ideas to play with, see if that works and let 
us know either way

[CentOS] Need Broadcom 4311 firmware for CentOS 5

[Robert Nichols]

Any hope of getting my laptop's Broadcom BCM94311 wireless running
on CentOS 5?  I find lots of references to using fwcutter to get
the needed firmware from Windows drivers, but there's a Catch-22:

Version of fwcutter that generate files for the bcm43xx driver
in CentOS 5 don't recognize the md5sum of any currently
available Windows driver.

Newer versions of fwcutter do recognize my Windows XP driver
files, but generate output in a newer format that is not
compatible with the bcm43xx driver.

I've been searching and fighting this for quite some time.  I
have a Fedora 10 installation that runs the wireless just fine
on that laptop (Lenovo 3000 N200), but I really hate the churn
and instability of Fedora.  I was hoping that CentOS 5.3 might
include a backported b43 driver, but I grabbed a preliminary
version of the new kernel (2.6.18-132), and it still has the
old bcm43xx.ko driver.

Since no one else has stepped up... here's dovecot and vsftpd.

These worked for me, ymmv. Centos 5 with rpmforge. Folded, failregex
should be a single line with a space between ":" and "authentication".


/etc/fail2ban/filter.d/dovecot.conf

failregex = dovecot-auth: pam_unix\(dovecot:auth\):
 authentication failure; .* rhost=(?:\s+user=\S*)?\s*$
ignoreregex =

failregex = vsftpd: pam_unix\(vsftpd:auth\):
 authentication failure; .* rhost=(?:\s+user=\S*)?\s*$
ignoreregex = 



And changes to /etc/fail2ban/jail.conf. (Note that you also want to
change the sendmail actions to use valid email addresses...)

Hi, I haven't seen this before.  What steps did you take to do the  
upgrade?  Is this on centos 4 or centos 5?  I think it's probably more  
appropriate to follow-up off list as this isn't a package shipped by  
centos but something I packaged myself.  Please email me directly.

Thanks,

I think this should be ``slapd_db_recover -h $PWD''

The fact that it's saying that it is skipping read-only either means that
the /ver/lib/ldap directory is on a read-only file system, or perhaps
slapd_db_recover requires the ``-h'' option to really do it's work.

I think that slapd_db_recover is a version of the Sleepycat Berkeley
database (bdb) db_recover routine, specific to the version of bdb on which
openldap-server is built.  The bdb is some of the worst looking spaghetti
code I have seen in over 40 years of programming work (look at the #if
statements in the perl or python bdb routines to get an idea of how ugly it
is with dependencies on both major and minor releases).

As a last resort, ``rm /var/lib/ldap/*'' will clear all the openldap data
files allowing it to restart so you can rebuild its data from scratch.

Hello,

I have had that working on CentOS 5.2 on a acer extensa 5220 notebook
with a BCM94311MCG wlan device and the following combination of
software and firmware.
 - bcm43xx-fwcutter-006-3.fc8.i386.rpm
 - wl_apsta-3.130.20.0.o

Also take a look at http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43.

But the maximum connection speed for that setting was 24 Mbit/s with
wpa_supplicant and WPA2. Now I am using a ralink rt61 pcmcia card with
CentOS 5.2 and the original driver from the ralink homepage (54 Mbit/s,
WPA2).

I read the documentation, again, very slowly. Their default

to. Once I changed the configuration, the test went perfectly. :-)

This wasn't the SW for me to try to "roll my own" RPM with, since the
Source code wasn't available to me, etc.  Thanks to everyone who
replied, I have a lot more understanding about how the SW for your UPS
is configured (and why) and a little understanding of what packaging
SW involves. Much appreciated!

If the wireless card is on a miniPCI card, it is possible to replace it
with an Intel ipw2100 type card.  Going to the Intel wireless means you
can use the fully supported open drivers that come with the kernels and
not have to message with dealing with MS-Windows drivers or closed
source drivers.

You don't need source to make an rpm. You can simply use an rpm as an
organized way to distribute and keep track of files that are installed.

Not looking good.  On the Linville test kernels page the b43 patch is 
listed as "discarded".

... Or ask Alan Bartlett in the CentOS forums.  He has built quite a

For a server type of thing, 64 bit is usually perfect.

32 bit is sometimes a better deal on desktops, but even there the 
situation is changing. Maybe this year I'll use 64 bit on my desktop(s) 
for the first time, as it seems most of the lingering problems are being 
solved, finally.

Since installing stuff that isn't an RPM is strongly discouraged, with
CentOS, Upstream, etc., for various very valid reasons,  it would have
been a good learning experience for me. Not sure if I had the Binary.
There was a file setup.bin Lots of JRE stuff in the tarball.

The Winpower SW and Documentation were probably written in Taiwan by
someone whose native language isn't English. Much better than
something I write in Spanish.

You can use the 32bit plugin if you change the launcher script to launch 
the 32 bit version of firefox instead of the 64 bit version.

Or konqueror, which somehow uses the java-binary to run applets.

But I must admit, I rarely need it. But if you do a lot of work with  
blade-systems and their various remote-management facilities, one  
might want to have a stable java environment...
