LinuxQuestions.org - FC6 Failed Hotplug Firmware Dependancy

Hi all,

I am trying to get an Atmel wireless USB Adapter to work on FC6 (see wirelss-network thread http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...d.php?t=534731) and need to install an Atmel firmware RPM but get the following error message stating that there is a Hotplug dependancy:

I don't have an internet connection for the PC with FC6 until I can get wireless to work - and get RPM's from the internet onto it using a USB Flash Disc from another PC which has internet (using Windows XP).

Does anyone know where I can get the Hotplug RPM and which one is needed? When I google this I only find PAM_Hotplug RPM's for FC6 and my system states taht these are already installed.

Any help would be much appreciated.

I have not been able to find another thread on this but if there is one please point me in it's direction and I'll close this one down.

Many thanks, Dan
