F14 shipped with 2.6.35.6 I think, so we should be good here. I don't think the firmware is shipped by default yet though, so we should make sure that's present. Also, make sure that the WiMAX bits are enabled in BIOS, I just ran into a case last week where the wimax part would even show up on a Thinkpad until it was enabled in BIOS. WiFi was fine though.
