Really?  It's not possible to use the tool for auditing wireless
security or for other legitimate purposes?  Alert the media, Fedora
has been overtaken by leet haxors and their warez.

aircrack-ng has been in Fedora for a while now (at least since FC6,
looking at my local mirror).  So yes, it will be in F8 as well.  I'm
not sure if it was in Fedora before it was in Ubuntu or not -- if
there's a race.

You probably won't like the Security LiveCD that Luke Macken put
together.  It's got aircrack-ng and numerous other tools that are
useful for auditing, forensics, and penetration testing.
