Hi,
by default yum keeps the last 3 kernels installed. But you can set yum to
keep all the updated kernels (see the installonly_limit key in
/etc/yum.conf).
Anyway I don't know any third-party repository that still provides madwifi
drivers, since Atheros chipsets are supported by the vanilla kernel for a
moment. Why do you still need madwifi? Which repo providing madwifi for F12
have you?
Atheros drivers never worked reliably for me. I lost the connection with
them every 5 min. I am still using ndiswrapper and the windows driver. I
think it depends on the router one is using.
