You'll need to update more than just the kernel. There were issues with Test 3 for udev and network init scripts that didn't distinguish between the wmasterX and wlanX interfaces, and since both have the same MAC address things got confused. Try updating to the latest Rawhide bits rather than using Test 3. The make sure you remove the following files: rm -f /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-wlan0* rm -f /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules The initscripts don't care what's after the ifcfg- (because you could name it ifcfg-Home or ifcfg-Some-Other-Place, it doesn't have to be the device name) and therefore even a ifcfg-wlan0.bak will cause the problem too.
