802.11g madness

[Richard Hubbard]

I have been trying to install this at home, with a non functioning 
network card.  which means
while(true){
    boot into windows
    download source rpm
    reboot into linux
    find out it doesnt work
}

I'll try the yum install when I'm next connected via a wire.
