What's Rawhide?
The update program for me points to 2.6.9-1.681.
But I just got things working the way that I like and am not wanting to 
update the Kernel.
I just went though a business of purchasing several WiFi PCMCIA cards 
trying to get one to work with Linux. I finally downloaded Ndiswrapper 
and found out that my original US Robotics card works just fine.
Not wanting to update kernel unless I have a reason to....
