I would say it works well, not great. Last kernel update - it found and installed the new madwifi driver for me, but it removed the old madwifi driver - even though the kernel it was for is still installed. It needs a yum plugin to not remove kernel modules for the running kernel when a new kernel module is installed. Also - my initial yum update found new kernel but livna had not released the new drivers yet (a few hours later they had). It would be nice if a yum plugin could tell yum to ignore the kernel if additional installed kernel modules are not yet available. The potential problem is if yum is run as a service, kernel gets updated but modules are not because they weren't available yet. The user reboots at some point, and now is running a kernel without modules he needs and has to reboot into the old kernel. -- fedora-extras-list mailing list fedora-extras-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-extras-list
