OK - can't worry about obsoleted kernels.  Removed the old ones after
finding 2133 to be stable and updated.

One more related issue.  Had to modify the ipw3945d SysV init script to
get the networking to work correctly at boot time.  The chkconfig
parameters had it starting very late so the network script was failing.
Here's what works for me:

# diff -u ipw3945d.orig /etc/init.d/ipw3945d
