1. Download the driver update rpm package from the location specified by Red Hat or your hardware
vendor. The package file name will begin with
kmod
(short for
kernel module
) and have a form
similar to this example:
kmod-ipw3945-1.2.04.17.el5.i686.rpm
In the example, the driver update rpm package supplies an Intel IPW3945 WiFi driver update
with version number 1.2.0-4.17 for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, on i686 systems. A version of this
driver package for systems running a Xen kernel will be similar, but include
xen
in the package
name:
kmod-ipw3945-xen-1.2.04.17.el5.i686.rpm
Driver update rpm packages are signed packages, and like all other software packages, they
are automatically validated at install time. To perform this step manually, type the following at a
command line:
$ rpm ­­­checksig ­­v filename.rpm
where
filename.rpm
is the driver update rpm package file name. This verifies the package
against using the standard Red Hat GPG package signing key that is already installed on any Red
Hat Enterprise Linux 5.5 system. If you need this key for verification purposes on another system,
you can can obtain it from:

2. Locate and double-click the file that you downloaded. The system might prompt you for the root
password, after which it will present the following
Installing Packages
box:
Figure 23.2. The installing packages box

Apply
to complete the package installation.
Alternatively, you can install a driver update manually on the command line:
