It's always done this since fedora 17, but I have only ever upgraded 
with fedup so I just figured I was taking the problem with me, ideally 
I'd like to get to the bottom of it and fix it.

I am running the latest version of the kernel, as for the firmware 
update I'm not sure if this has been done or not, or what firmware I 
should be trying to update.

I do yum update very regularly.

Thank you
