So I went to "yum install" the following and this is what I get:


# yum install ieee80211 ipw3945 ipw3945d ipw3945-ucode

>From what I can see I'm running the latest "production" kernel and the kernel-2.6.22-1.24.fc6 is still a "testing" kernel.  "yum
list" and "yum check-update" don't show the 2.6.22 kernel as an update anywhere that I can see so what's the deal?  Am I doing
something wrong here?

Thanks.
