We're working really hard on it - linville is keeping us as close to upstream as possible and *vigorously* chases all the iwl3945 bugs. Also, they're trying to get the driver into the mainstream kernel now, so it's currently getting a lot of peer review. The upstream maintainers are pretty responsive, but it's their hardware, they've got the specs.. so the driver quality is pretty much up to them. So - between patient, diligent testers like you, our fearless (and sleep-deprived) kernel maintainers, and the upstream folks - iwlwifi should be shaping up very, very quickly. Unfortunately, I can't guarantee it'll be 100% stable for everyone by the initial release of Fedora 7. But it works for a lot of people and, if nothing else, it'll get *way* better in post-F7 updates. And the old driver's still available if you need it. It's not the ideal situation, but it's the best we can get right now. -w
