It worked fine doing yum upgrades, but slowed down to a crawl accessing some sites like bugzilla.redhat.com. Switching back to rt73, or accessing the same site with my laptop worked just fine. I'm not sure what information one can draw from that, but, as usual, trying out version+1 of the kernel is more useful than reporting kernel bugs. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
