I recently did a "yum update" and it installed a new kernel:
2.6.12-1.1372_FC3.  I like to build my own ipw2200 module, so I tried and
it failed.  With a little investigation I found some broken links:

lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root      5 Aug 25 15:45 source -> build

"build" and "source" are broken links.  I tried installing the .src.rpm and
did an rpmbuild, but to no avail.  What am I missing?

This seems to be new for kernel-2.6.12-1.1372_FC3.  Before, all the headers
needed to build modules were included in the rpm, the src rpm wasn't
needed, nor was anything else.

This one kernel was accidentally built "the FC4 way" with a separate kernel-devel package. Install that and the links will work.
