Thanks for the quick reply. Unfortunately still no luck.

I was a little brief in my first post so a little more info. I am using SL 5.3 and have kept it updated. Until now I have not had any problems applying distributed updates/patches. "yum clean all" followed by several other tests gave no new information and all ended with the same error See bottom of first post).

        exclude=kernel-module-ndiswrapper-2.6.18-128.7.1.el5



Hope this helps,

Well, it wants the ndiswrapper from SL 5.4. I guess kernel-module- ndiswrapper-2.6.18-128.7.1.el5-1.55-1.SL.i686.rpm made it into the 5.3 errata by accident when -164.6.1 was rushed out. So temporarily adding a line to the yum configuration for that repository should make the update work.
