Help, Cannot install kmod-rtl8187

Post by CryptLabs »

Hello,

I'm trying to install the driver so i can use my ALFA wifi usb adaptor with Gargoyle version 1.5.10 on Buffalo WZR-HP-G450H.

i tried to download the driver but i get the following error:

Code: Select all

ERROR: Dependency kernel (= 3.3.8-1-d6597ebf6203328d3519ea3c3371a493) of package kmod-rtl8187 is installed,
		but has incompatible version 3.3.8-1-418b0c9a3d2b0325109c4c9dd8680699 and is marked as 'hold'
i never faced this problem before when i had OpenWrt.

please help.

Thanks

This seems to be a duplicate of this issue:
https://github.com/ericpaulbishop/gargoyle/issues/170

This is from gpkg (Gargoyle's replacement for opkg). You might try to

Code: Select all

opkg install opkg
& try again.
