If support was removed from the kernel, do you know if it was added in terms of (a)kmod support? I've not yet seen anything about it. As a (perhaps) related question: It is my understanding that if I were to use akmod (as opposed to kmod) it would dynamically download necessary modules at startup time if an updated kernel is detected. However, if what is necessary is network drivers, that would create a sort of chicken-and-egg problem, wouldn't it? Should I avoid akmod in favor of kmod (for network components) for this reason? -Don -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
