I still have it on my PC. No need for the attachment, I have that madwifi via Livna (RPM) and its 'ok' but is very flaky. It either doesn't resume after suspend, or stalls the machine on suspend. And randomly doesn't work on some boots. I was going to pull in .27 from rawhide, but I saw it was pulling in some packages for update which I was not familiar with so I aborted that process. May have to give it a try again. -- Fedora 9 : sulphur is good for the skin ( www.pembo13.com ) -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
