Yes, it's a problem in this case. I would like to confirm that specific
functionality works with the Fedora 64-bit kernel. As an example, my
laptop has a Broadcom 4306 wireless NIC that currently only works with
ndiswrapper when running with a 64-bit kernel. It seems like 64-bit is
the poor step-child when it comes to things like wireless support,
memory card readers, etc. Anything that doesn't work 64-bit but works
under 32-bit tends to get a response of, "Just run 32-bit."
Cheers,
Dave
