I am reporting a seemingly related problem here.  It is not a SL issue
but rather a bug in yum or a packaging (dependency/Requires) problem.
Anyway, just for the record.

I have a recent install of SL 5 and tried to run:

yum install ieee80211 --enablerepo=atrpms

and got this result (last part only):

--> Running transaction check
--> Processing Dependency: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-8.el5 for package:
ieee80211-kmdl-2.6.18-8.el5
--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: Missing Dependency: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-8.el5 is needed by
package ieee80211-kmdl-2.6.18-8.el5

It is looking for kernel 2.6.18-8.el5. But because the only kernel I
have is  2.6.18-8.1.8.el5, the dependency fails.

I have not been able to find a solution for this.  Probably need to
ask somewhere upstream.
