well, as I said above, the rt2860 works fine in f12 too.
I booted the f13 alpha on some j-random laptop around the office (an old HP
of some sort) and wireless didn't work there either, in exactly the same way
as on my eeepc. I did a lsmod and saw some ipw2200 things there which I
think are the wireless driver modules, so it's not working at least on those
two different types of devices, with the same symptoms in both places.
