    An update on my adventure with FC4 on a Dell Inspiron 1200 with Netgear
    WAG511 Dual-Band Type II PCMCIA.

    FC4 installed flawlessly--sort of. At least it installed without
    interruption. Currently I cannot get any sound on the Dell's internal
    speakers. (Nor have I tried to plug in any headphones.) Why am I not
    getting sound?

    Thus far, that's the only "issue." Right now I am updating 330 packages
    using various repositories. As before, I'm using "smart." These packages
    include the latest kernel and kernel-devel packages--not to mention the
    latest versions of Xorg, OpenOffice, and a host of other applications.

    The screensaver must be saved to lock the screen by default. Maybe I'll
    leave it that way, this being a laptop and all. I'm waiting to be able
    to install the xscreensaver-extras so that I can do more than merely
    fade-out the screen.

    Once again: Exactly how do I install the MADWiFi drivers and kernel
    module? I specifically bought the NetGear WAG511 because it has an
    Atheros chipset, which MADWiFi is supposed to recognize. But I haven't
    found any decent instructions on how to install MADWiFi drivers and
    kernel modules from RPM packages.

    Any assistance, even with research, would be appreciated.
