I've been following several threads here and it appears that one of the kernel updates broke a few things.

But that assumes things will get fixed. I would wait for FC14 if you want to rebuild. At that point FC12 will become End-of-Life, which basically means unsupported. This is how Fedora is structured. > James> be possible to get the older files and then put them on local > > What exactly are the older files? I can transfer files via a USB drive. Look in your yum updates log file and see what was updated when you lost access to your wireless card.
