In addition I have ipw3945 working very well on a Samsung Q35 after a clean install of FC5. I used the development version from the ipw3945 project at sourceforge. Initially I was using version 0.0.73 of the driver, but yesterday installed versions 1.0.2 (using the Makefile from version 0.0.73) - details for installing 0.0.73 are at: http://www-users.york.ac.uk/~mdc1/samsung.html Hope this might help.
