Well, it's pretty good so far, and a lot of drivers that are based on mac80211 are landing in F8 (iwl3945, iwl4965, rt2x00, ath5k, b43). That's a _lot_ of cards. So I'd expect update kernels to iron out any issues people have pretty quickly. That said, ath5k is the least mature of all the drivers in the tree right now.
