I want to know why Madwifi works with 2.6.9-34.0.2.EL, but not with 
2.6.9-34.108.plus.c4 ????

I have asked this a number of times and have not seen any answer.

Oh, and if 2.6.9-34.0.2.EL is not the current base kernel, how do I get 
it to upgrade after I have selected the plus kernel?   I did a yum list 
without the plus repo selected and it did not indicate any newer version.

Also I need support for multi-drive usb drives.  I have to figure out 
that earlier thread.
