I don't see any reason why this should change now. This way we get
upstream improvements (new/better hardware support) and bugfixes
without having to wait/update to the the next release.

I like the older releases keeping the older versions. I have to run the
older version because of a network lockup which rawhide kernels exhibit.
kernel-2.6.23.14-107.fc8 works fine at .23
kernel-2.6.24-0.167.rc8.git4.fc9 introduces bugs in .24

I'd rather have newer programs and a stabilized kernel. The drivers that
I need are available and work excellent before .24 introduced bugs.
Openoffice.org for rawhide loads quicker and works without problems.
Advancements in programs is more important to me than adding and
deleting support for kernel level devices.

fc9 kernels hang at
1161 ?        D<     0:00 /sbin/modprobe
pcmcia:m015Fc000Af06fn00pfn00paA17C320Epb3D011600pc00000000pd00000000

Whatever that is.


It's loading the driver for a Cisco Aironet wireless PCMCIA adapter.


Thanks Chuck!
I have a bug report filed regarding this error
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=426714

My network does not hang with the .23 version but it does with the .24 version. It appears that the wireless is being identified as eth0 for the fc9 version but is eth1 for the fc8 version.

Still upgrading Fedora 8 to .24 versions would disadvantage me for now.
