Word has reached me that the wireless card:
Intel PRO/Wireless 2200 Lead-free WLAN (802.11b/g) miniPCI Card
is not supported by FC4.

Is this true? If so why are Intel cards such a problem?

Check this group out.
Usually, it takes a while for new technologies to make the driver list.
 Especially in the fast passed world of wireless technology right now.

Good Luck,

For FC4 on my HP Pavilion all I had to do was "yum installipw2200-firmware" to get my Intel based Centrino wireless to work.
