[ydl-gen] PS3 Wifi on YDL.net Enhanced Howto

[Michael Torres]

Hey, guys I just wanted to ask a quick question.
Originally I had YDL on my PS3 with 50GB for YDL and
10GB for the game OS, I quickly found out that was not
the best way to go, plus without the wifi ability, it
really hindered what I could do, so I re-formatted my
HD. Anyhow, it seems that has been corrected, and so I
want to re-install YDL. I noticed on the YDL.net
emhanced site there is an ISO from April 30 or May
1st, I don't remember exactly. Is this the one I
should use to re-install. Do  I still need to download
this new kernel for wifi or is it already built-in to
this update. Any help would be appreciated.
