Just to add that I do know about Madwifi, the non-free driver available from Livna. I've installed it before on pre-F9 systems and have usually managed to get it working after a fair amount of agony. I was just hoping not to have to go that route with F9 as it is claimed to have Atheros support now. In any case, I suspect the problem isn't in the actual driver itself but in some interaction with NM. poc -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
