Starting a new thread as this is a bit OT for the original.

Will watch atrpms-devel for updates.  It would certainly be nice to have
the latest-greatest kmdl macro stuff as well.  Was just comparing
my .rpmmacros to those posted in the quoted thread to prepare to try
[again] to rebuild ipw3945 modules for the latest FC6test2/rawhide
kernel.  Some of the test1/2 ATrpms kmdl packages have worked when I was
able to get the kernel and the RPM packages in sync, but updating from
rawhide makes it near-impossible to do this, and I also realize it would
be impossible to have ATrpms support at the furious pace of rawhide
updates.

A side note - probably related to web site breakage noted earlier.
Links to src.rpms for ipw3945 and other packages are broken.  The link

        http://dl.atrpms.net/all/ipw3945-1.1.0-12_pre2.fc5.91.at.src.rpm

on page

        http://atrpms.net/dist/fc6/ipw3945/

gives a 404 error.  Similar errors for fc5 packages and for ieee80211
packages.


Thanks for all the packages and timely support of FC/EL releases.
