Hi,
I tried to download the latest kernel packages using yum. However during
dependency resolution I got an error indicating:
--> kernel conflicts with iwl4965-firmware
So now from what I understand is, that in an ideal scenario, the new kernel
would require the firmware of the device to be upgraded for the drivers in
the new kernel to be able to communicate with the device. Is this rite?
If the above is right and say I upgrade the firmware, then isn't it supposed
to effect the working of the device, when I boot into Windows.
I had faced this earlier too, I have a nVidia card and had updated the
kernel using kernel*, this updated the firmware too, so now I had to
reinstall the proprietary drivers of nVidia to get the display. Moreover
when I booted windows, I did not face any issues. Isn't firmware on the
device and isn't is supposed to effect the functionality when I boot into
another OS?
Regards,
Ashish
