Greetings;
I finally found that libxml2 dirtyness no one could explain, but now a "yum update"
returns this:
[root@coyote xsane-0.90]# yum update

And my networking is working fine.
Do I need a new /etc/yum.conf?
The URL's listed above aren't correct, which would indicate some mods to your /etc/yum.conf are in order. Try pasting each of them into a browser and you'll see.
Have you tried starting with the sample available at fedorafaq.org and making modifications to it?
Hope this helps, Clint
