I have F8 installed on a new Lenovo T61p with a 4965 wireless. I have the following odd behaviour. There are 3 AP's in on the same network - in fact no others are within scan range.

Ok after much experimentation - I now have the magic recipe to connect which seems to work.

(i) Set up appropriate configs (ie populate /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg*

  (ii) ifup wlan0 ; ifdown wlan0

 (iii) modprobe -r iwl4965
 (iv) turn radio off with hardware switch
 (v) turn on radio
 (vi) iwconfig wlan0 channel 11
       Adjust to channle of close AP
 (vii) iwlist wlan0 scan

This will fail - repeat - it may still not see the AP that is close - repeat until you see the AP picked up in the scan.
        If you cannot see the AP - go back to (iii)

 (viii) killall dhclient
 (ix) ifup wlan0

 (x) iwconfig wlan0
      to confirm it has the correct AP

10 easy steps ... and it works ... yay!

good luck.

(There may be a smaller set but this does work)
