Some additional information....

I was able to get F12 on another partition to work with my
wireless - it turns out that on this "broken" F12 partition,
yum can only see rt2870-2.1.2.0 & kmod-rt2870-2.1.2.0
whereas on the successful partition, yum saw:
rt2870-2.4.0.1 & kmod-rt2870-2.4.0.1.

I cannot fathom what is going on here... somehow yum
(or RPMFusion) is controlling which version is being
seen and not the other...

Note that the working partition was a dd copy of the
"broken" partition and yet, somehow I was able to get
2.4.0.1 installed, whereas I cannot with the "broken"
partition, it sees only 2.1.2.0...

So, how can I force yum to see/get the correct version?
