For some comic relief, try this (as I did on a new server with no
wireless networking hardware):

# yum remove wireless-tools

Better yet, don't try it. This is what it ends up in:

You *can* remove the wireless tools, but you'd have to part with the
kernel and yum itself, too. Hence, whenever you run out of disk space,
remove wireless-tools. That'll fix it :)

Cheers
Steffen.

Silly question, but, doesn't this look like a fairly major-impact (although presumably easy-to-fix) bug?
