You might want to run an up2date session because there are several dozen packages waiting for up2date, including a new kernel, kernel source, initscripts...all of these will be of interest to you. You have to subscribe to the 'Severn Beta 2 (i386) Updates' channel of RHN (see earlier email by Gerry Tool on how to do this.)
Actually I'm groaning a bit because there is a new kernel, and I especially recompiled the original kernel for the Intersil 54g cardbus driver being developed by Luis Rodriguez' group at Rutgers. I'll see if the recompiled original kernel + the new driver + the new SMC wireless card play well together and get me connected to the internet.

After installing linux-wlan on Fedora test2 (Vaio R505TS ACPI Laptop), pcmcia breaks with the following upon startup:
[root@localhost linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1-pre12]# /etc/init.d/pcmcia start Starting PCMCIA services: modulesmodprobe: Can't locate module pcmcia_core.o modprobe: Can't locate module yenta_socket.o modprobe: Can't locate module ds.o cardmgr.
In /var/log/messages: Oct 2 23:35:42 localhost cardmgr[8783]: starting, version is 3.1.31 Oct 2 23:35:42 localhost cardmgr[8783]: no pcmcia driver in /proc/devices Oct 2 23:35:42 localhost cardmgr[8783]: exiting
I am using pre12 in this example but I have tried other versions of the linux-wlan code and the result of breaking pcmcia has been the same. Any help would be appreciated as to how to get the driver working, or how to get my old pcmcia working. Re-ran depmod -a. Also rebooted. To compile linux-wlan drivers, they require that you have the pcmcia source on the system and configured, I downloaded 3.1.22 and threw it in /usr/src/ and ran make config on it.
