The dkms subpackage was initially only added that it would be created on non-cooker, so since: * Thu Sep 01 2005 Buchan Milne <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 1.2-2mdk - merge (again) dkms subpackage that was created while package was in between repos, build dkms subpackages only for non-cooker - fix DistroSpecificReleaseTag (will require compat macros for backport) it has been possible to test a newer ndiswrapper than is available in the kernel for non-cooker distributions, just by rebuilding the SRPM from cooker and installing both resulting packages. Of course, you can install dkms packages on older distros (they just contain source for modules), but you'd require a newer ndiswrapper package too. Either way, packages for 2006.0 are available here: http://mirrors.telkomsa.net/~bgmilne/mandriva/2006.0/ (urpmi.addmedia ...) or http://mirrors.telkomsa.net/~bgmilne/mandriva/2006.0/i586/dkms-ndiswrapper-1.6-2.1.20060mdk.i586.rpm http://mirrors.telkomsa.net/~bgmilne/mandriva/2006.0/i586/ndiswrapper-1.6-2.1.20060mdk.i586.rpm And, now that I've fixed the 'dkms mkrpm' vs "put %release in PACKAGE_VERSION, here is a binary module package for the original smp kernel (which I will test on my box at home): http://mirrors.telkomsa.net/~bgmilne/mandriva/2006.0/i586/ndiswrapper-kernel-2.6.12-12mdksmp-1.6-2.1.20060mdk.i586.rpm (there isn't much point in the distribution-specific release tag on the kernel module package, but ... it can't be avoided I think).
