Hi Troy,

Oops, I think I messed up the version numbers for ndiswrapper. However 
my problem remains.

My problem is related to the %{dist} tag in the rpm name (ie. 
yum-versionfix).

For SL43:
 > 43/i386/SL/RPMS/ndiswrapper-1.5-0.SL.1.i686.rpm

For SL46:
46/i386/SL/RPMS/ndiswrapper-1.41-1.SL.i686.rpm

Note the ".SL.1.i686.rpm" ending was changed to ".SL.i686.rpm". This is 
probably stopping my yum updates. I can "yum update" 
ndiswrapper-1.5-0.SL.1.i686.rpm to ndiswrapper-1.5-0.SL.3.i686.rpm, but 
not ndiswrapper-1.41-1.SL.i686.rpm
