Hi List,

I have been using  
instructions--http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/ 
Installing_Fedora_Core_6_on_a_ThinkPad_T60 to install wireless.  I have  
an updated version of fc6 x86_64.  When I run

'yum --enablerepo=atrpms install ipw3945' I get the output listed  
below.  It looks like the update for the system is ahead of the package  
ipw3945.  How do I proceed?  Any comments would be greatly appreciated.
