If you upgraded to F12 from F11 via yum, you may still have some F11 kernel installed, so during boot, just press ESC to get to grub menu and select F11 kernel.
You may then edit /boot/grub/menu.lst to select your default kernel. (You may also upate /etc/yum.conf and change installonly_limit=3 to higher number so more
than just 3 kernels are retained)
If you didn't have F11 it is a bit tricky to install F11 kernel into F12, I did it in this way:
- I downloaded below files to empty folder from Fedora mirror:
#ls -l
-rw-rw-r--. 1 jaiv jaiv 691959 2009-11-18 17:28 kernel-firmware-2.6.30.9-99.fc11.noarch.rpm
-rw-rw-r--. 1 jaiv jaiv 763844 2009-11-18 17:34 kernel-headers-2.6.30.9-99.fc11.i586.rpm
-rw-rw-r--. 1 jaiv jaiv 22623392 2009-11-18 17:32 kernel-PAE-2.6.30.9-99.fc11.i686.rpm
-rw-rw-r--. 1 jaiv jaiv 6599589 2009-11-18 17:24 kernel-PAE-devel-2.6.30.9-99.fc11.i686.rpm
-rw-rw-r--. 1 jaiv jaiv 92966 2009-09-02 16:07 mkinitrd-6.0.87-4.fc11.i586.rpm
(If you do not want to compile modules you may possibly skip -devel)
Then I installed them by using command:
#rpm -ivh * --nodeps --force
You are doing this at your own risk.
Good luck!

Hello,
I have an ASUS N51 series with Atheros AR9285 card that I just put F12 on.
Today I brought the notebook on campus that basically has open wifi (we had to
register our Mac address with our ID to be on the network, but otherwise it's
open, no WEP, WPA or anything).
The problem is that I keep getting my network dropped intermittently. Every
few tens of second or order of minutes my network would get dropped, and then
get connected again. It's enough that I can't work with it, since I work by
doing programming on remote machine via SSH.
During all this time, Network manager shows reasonable wireless strength, that
fluctuates between 2 bars to full bars.
Here's what /sbin/lspci shows as my wireless card:
Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR9285 Wireless Network
Adapter
And looking at the output /sbin/lsmod, I'm guessing it's using "ath9k" module.
I've search the web and archive and found few reports here and there about
something similar, but I couldn't find anything definite, or any workaround.
Does anyone have any idea that can help me ? Any workaround, even with
different / older version of Fedora ?
Thank you for any respond.
RDB
