Linux-wlan install breaks Fedora test2 pcmcia

[fedora-test-list]

Bob,

Ran up2date, but it tells me nothing is available.  I have read Gerry's
message and I think I have it running right.  I am subscribed to "Severn
Beta 2 (i386):

"Your system if fully updated.  No new packages needed"

But:
$ uname -a
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.4.22-1.2061.nptl #1 Mon Sep 22 14:39:36 EDT
2003 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

Any ideas?  Thanks ...

Louis
