Well ... not really ... but at > least I'm not just going crazy. > yes, you are ok ;-) Here is the new SRPM: http://linux.web.psi.ch/dist/scientific/51/beta/madwifi-0.9.4-14.slp5.src.rpm containing madwifi-compat.h-kernel-2.6.18-92.el5.patch However, this SRPM will only work for kernel >= 2.6.18-92.el5. If you want to put it into SL50/SL51 you have to update first the kernel to >= 2.6.18-92.el5. Or do you know a good way to handle this in the SPEC file, something like %if %{....} %patch0 -p0 -b .compat %endif to apply the patch only for kernel >= 2.6.18-92.el5? Hope it works this time Urs
