[rhn-users] unresolvable chain of dependencies

By default, up2date skips kernel packages. (Why is that?) Because of
this, RHN says that my server is out of date and that there are critical
updates to be applied.
So, I removed the skipping of kernel patches and did "up2date -u" and got
the following. I looked on bugzilla and didn't find this listed at all,
and I'm wondering if I'm okay to ignore this (critical!) kernel update.

There was a package dependency problem. The message was:
Unresolvable chain of dependencies:
kernel-2.6.9-42.0.2.EL conflicts with ipw2200-firmware <
2.2
kernel-smp-2.6.9-42.0.2.EL conflicts with ipw2200-firmware <
2.2
Thanks for any advice you can give.
