Re: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)

The symbol < means "less than", so ipw3945 as it is currently installed on your system requires a kernel26 package with a version less than 2.6.26.

I trust that's clear enough to allow you to sort out your issue. The original error message is sufficient for most users, but it does assume that they know what the < symbol means.
