Thanks Chris.
Wireless on Fedora sucks, and it seems it will suck for time to come.
It is very difficult to defend such a broad, absolute statement. All one
needs is one counterexample, and your assertion is defeated.
I have two laptops here, with two different Intel wireless chipsets.
I installed Fedora 7 on box laptops, and wireless worked from the first
boot. Everything's juts peachy. My only complaint is having to enter the
stupid gnome keyring password, every time after logging in, in order to
retrieve the WPA passphrases.
I have just posted a fairly good rebuttal of this. You should read my
assertion above in context with other things I said before, and now since.
there's a group of people for whom the design is fine, and you're a
member of that set. I'm not, and I'va already outlined the several
wireless systems I have here.
