Re: pacman update conflicts with vbox ~~

Those packages have to be recompiled against the newer kernel. You can either wait for their maintainers to update them, or you can rebuild them yourself using the Arch Build System.

from http://www.archlinux.org/news/414/

The ipw3945 driver doesn't compile anymore. It's probably easy to patch, but we'll stop maintaining it anyway. Please use iwl3945 or compile the driver yourself (the latest PKGBUILD and patches can be found at http://repos.archlinux.org/viewvc.cgi/ipw3945/trunk/)

you can download packages before updating using pacman -Swd packages_that_you_need
where -d skip dependency, -w download only

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

I had the same problem. I have removed the ipw3945 (pacman -Rs ipw3945) and used iwl3945 instead of the older ipw.
