I can't file a bug report because I don't use the RPM, I got the driver 
off of the HP Linux site.

O_o Apparently something is sending a lot of email to root... moving
it off the box into another location doesn't exactly solve the
problem.

Actually it says this:

           They do not work on newer WPA 2 devices or on WPA systems that
           use the stronger Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm.

which is a bit different from how you put it. ;-)

WPA2+AES, with MAC filtering, and https mgmt (from the inside only),
is the way to roll.

I found the source of that issue. Yum can be very verbose over the
holidays if it doesn't get what it wants.

thanks,

I'm having the same issue with Fedora 12. Duplex printing doesn't work, 
even though it's configured. At first it was only happening with evince 
and gedit, but now other apps are doing the same. I have found a bug 
report on this problem for Redhat/Fedora.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=538133

The above is the link to that bug report

I don't get your correction.  The "they" mentioned is the hacks.

I wasn't suggesting either WPA with AES or WPA2 was hackable but rather
responding to the earlier post that suggested WPA2 and WPA were easily
hackable.
