Darren~ yum definitely is not finding the kernel-module-hostap rpm file. I ran rpm -ivh on this and got: Error: failed dependencies: Atrpms-kmdl-helper is needed by ... I found a link to this on the Google search site. Is this part of the meta package 'atrpms-56-1.rhfc2.at.i386.rpm" ? I'm not sure why yum doesn't find it, although I also found a link to a package which supposedly contains all the yum headers as well (not sure that I need this, since yum seems to find everything else its looking for)... Please advise.

Besides you can still use the manual way... of surfing the atrpms.net site and then grabbing the 6 files I mentioned before... then just use rpm -ivh /module.rpm/ to install them.
