Am I correct in assuming NetworkManager-gnome-0.6.3-1.fc5 for Fc5 is patched? I see that the rawhide version has this note in the changelog: Drop special-case-madwifi.patch, since WEXT code is in madwifi-ng trunk now. If I wanted to install the NM package from rawhide do I need to upgrade any other packages in addition to NM?? Is it necessary to rebuild the rawhide NM to install it on a laptop running FC5? Thanks for the help. Regards, Tom _______________________________________________ NetworkManager-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
