Yes Nadav, you're right. It's really crazy. That's why I asked the question...It's a long time that I didn't change my network card and I remember that something like 6 years ago, in order to change your Ethernet card you had to find the module, re-compile the kernel, etc...

Well, I twisted the truth a little, but what I said was sort of true. Before Fedora ships a new package in its standard "updates" repository, it undergoes some testing, and in the meantime, you can get it from the official "updates-testing" repository. So if you can't wait a few more days for Fedora's testing process to finish (like I couldn't wait because I wanted to access my old PATA disk...) updating your Fedora to use the 2.6.23 is as trivial as typing yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update kernel See the announcements of the new kernel package here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2007-October/msg00618.html (actually, since then, there's a new one: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2007-October/msg00740.html) -- Nadav Har'El | Tuesday, Oct 16 2007, 4 Heshvan 5768 [EMAIL PROTECTED] |----------------------------------------- Phone +972-523-790466, ICQ 13349191 |Sign seen in restaurant: We Reserve The http://nadav.harel.org.il |Right To Serve Refuse To Anyone! ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
