I got my laptop Asus W2JC in july 2006 and still have no sound, because
the alsa-drivers are buggy for the sound card (HDA Intel Chipset Realtek
ALC882). So, each time there is a new kernel release I try to get the
news drivers, unfortunately I now got trapped with these yum problems.

If you have any idea to fix this problem I shall be very grateful.
