Hi all,
Using yum update isn't working with my nvidia GeForce 2 MX at present.
The available rpms need fixing. Using the linuxant kernel appears to be
a temporary fix if you also put "exclude = kernel*" in your yum.conf
until this gets straightened out.
See:

http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=29208
http://www.linuxant.com/driverloader/wlan/full/downloads.php
or you could stick to traditional methods:

HIH,
Neal
