Hi, I have a laptop with an ipw3945 wireless adapter and with F7 installed, things are quite flakey. Looking at forums and mailing lists I see I'm not suffering alone. So, I was wondering what would be useful information to help debug this, beyond "it doesn't work very well". TIA Jonathan.

Oops, I accidentally checked in my Makefile too. So I guess I'll just assume you thought its changes were good. ;-) This one copies some extras-style boilerplate that is necessary if you have a whole-tree checkout of /cvs/pkgs/rpms. It does not give you individual foobar/common/ checkouts like
