maybe b/c kernel-firmware was upgraded first and your network card needs a firmware that is not compatible between different kernels > and about 900 rpm's fail to install as some of their dependencies are > missing. > > I tried to download and copy the missing rpm's with another computer to > usb stick, but usb fails to mount...

You could run "modprobe usb_storage" (you may also have to load the USB controller modules (see output of "lspcidrake -v")) Didn't you reboot to a new kernel which you aborted the installation?
