However, as I said above, the firewire driver that comes bundled with FC2 does not work with this kernel nor do the ndiswrapper or linuxant driverloader packages for the Broadcom wireless drivers. I understand the desire for efficiency, but efficiency doesn't do users much good if their devices don't work. OT - I searched the fedora-devel-list archives using "stack" and got a total of three hits, none of which was on this topic. Apparently the search engine leaves something to be desired. > > ______________________________________________________________________ > -- > fedora-devel-list mailing list > fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx > http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list -- Steve Brenneis <sbrenneis@xxxxxxxxx>
