I have tried to install Networker 7.3 on a RedHat Fedora Core 3 that is
based on the 2.6 kernel.
Networker on my Fedora core seems to not be able to handle the jukebox
and its devices.
Is the Fedora kernel that different from RedHat ES4 or is this a flaw in
the new 7.3?
As you can see below, the FC3 properly recognizes the devices but
Networker seems to be confused.
