You probably skipped step for installing make and other tools.
Read the whole post carefully and if still in trouble just ask here. Hope this helps.

Just wait a bit and try again later, these dependency errors are temporaty things when until all update mirrors get syncronised.

I have fedora 9 and am trying to get the ar5007 working. When I try yum –enablerepo=livna-testing install kmod-madwifi I get this error:

Missing Dependency: kernel-uname-r = 2.6.25.9-76.fc9.i686 is needed by package kmod-madwifi-2.6.25.9-76.fc9.i686-0.9.4-46.r3698.lvn9.i686 (livna-testing)

It’s weird because I had the wireless adapter working before with fedora 9, I can’t remember how I did it if I used this tutorial or not but I know I didn’t have to compile anything, but I had to re-install and I can’t remember how to do it.

@ Jonathan Dieter: Does this mean that the AR5007 works with the kmod-madwifi package in livna-testing?
