I tend to agree. I have tried it with my two cards and neither work with NM, nor with the cli tools for standard network. So every avenue I have tried does not work for me for neither my Dlink G650 (H/W v B2) nor my Cisco Aironet 350 card. On the suggestion from an earlier posting I tried the first FC6 kernel with my Aironet 350 card and it made no difference - so I think there must have been updates to other packages which have stopped this card working in the meantime. I do believe that there must be driver bugs related to this card for the newer kernels... I have put a ticket into the madwifi site at http://madwifi.org/ticket/1253 and hopefully there will be some progress - however I have hit the buffers on this one at present. Mike
