Darren~
Thanks. I got this working around 4am. I also posted the solution to
alt.linux.hardware with an honorable mention for all your help. Thanks
again. I really appreciate your assistance.
Regards,
John

you have to download atrpms second... before you try and install the
kernel-module hostap. The order is very important, as many of the
packages depend on the others being installed first.
#yum install atrpms
That's all you have to do... or you can use apt-get as suggested.
Whatever your preference is.
