More than half year ago it was supposed to be ready for kernel 
2.6.29[1], but since then I took the "easy way" with the akmod from 
rpmfusion and didn't follow the development.

does the wireless survive a suspend/resume for you?  i'm sure it worked once (with the 1.7.0 driver on F9) but since then i've always had to reboot to get the wireless back again - even rmmod/modprobe doesn't recover it.
