ATrpms just offers an *optional* set of packages that don't get
automatically installed for those people having ipw3945 hardware and
wanting to get it run under FC and RHEL. What exactly is not "well
behaved"? As you noted yourself, if you want to run this hardware you
will *need* to "replace" ieee80211 (which they are not ...). And did I
mention it only happens on a voluntarily basis invoked by the user
sitting in front of his keyboard?
Please be careful with characterizations about "well behaved", it may
turn out that the only thing not "well behavied" is the statement
itself.</rant>
Apologies, no offense intended. By 'better behaved' I was referring to the
rpmforge approach of not "messing with files installed by kernel and
kernel-devel packages". Perhaps a poor choice of words.. ;/
I understand the necessity to update the iee80211 modules to make this work, and
I do appreciate the packages you have created. I was simply inquiring whether
we could get these changes into the Fedora kernel to make life easier for
everyone...
