Hi,

Thank you for the upgrades and new packages. I just installed the kernel and
ipw3945 packages in my laptop and for some reason the gnome-panel freezes
right from the beginning, I can see the menus and launchers but they don't
react to clicks. The applets don't show up at all so it might be one of them
causing a problem. The Desktop is accessible. I'll do more testing and
report back.

Cheers,

Hector

Hi, Thank you for the upgrades and new packages. I just installed the kernel and ipw3945 packages in my laptop and for some reason the gnome-panel freezes right from the beginning, I can see the menus and launchers but they don&#39;t react to clicks. The applets don&#39;t show up at all so it might be one of them causing a problem. The Desktop is accessible. I&#39;ll do more testing and report back.

<a href="http://2.6.21.5">2.6.21.5</a> and Ingo&#39;s 2.6.21.5-rt19. I had to skip rt18 as it had problems with the udev startup sequence. Many thanks to Ingo, Thomas Gleixner - who fixed the bug - and Carsten Emde who provided the traces
 that made it possible to debug it. Seems to work nicely in my tests (rt17 _sometimes_ had the udev problems as well in some of the hardware configurations we have, which you may have seen as delays in the boot sequence).
 fc6/fc7: the stock <a href="http://2.6.21.5">2.6.21.5</a> kernel does not include the ilw3945 wireless driver that is included as a patch in the stock Fedora kernel... and my new laptop needs something, so I created kernel modules for the ipw3945
 driver, its firmware and the regulatory daemon (the last two rebuilds of what freshrpms provides - with thanks to Matthias)[*]. If you want to test this, &quot;yum install kmod-ipw3945 ipw-firmware&quot; and
 all necessary packages should be installed. This kernel module will only work with the rt kernel packages. On the same vein there&#39;s also a bleeding edge ALSA kernel modules package. If installed (&quot;yum install kmod-alsa&quot;) it will provide a very
 recent hg (it is a version control system used byt the ALSA project) snapshot of the alsa kernel drivers, which is newer than what comes bundled with <a href="http://2.6.21.5">2.6.21.5</a>. I wish I did not have to do this, but with the
 new kernel modules sound in my new laptop actually works. If you are having soundcard problems with very new hardware this may help. fc6/fc7: updated libgig to version 3.1.1 Enjoy! -- Fernando
