I've been seeing this behaviour _sometimes_ as well. (/me hates _sometimes_) Fresh off the presses, an F8-based build w/ the latest round of iwl4965 updates from Zhu Yi and friends: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=215212 I haven't had a chance to test it yet myself (built it overnight), so YMMV. Still, there is a lot of iwl4965 churn in there so it is probably worth some testing. (Newer than wireless-2.6!) For any non-iwl4965 F8 users it may still be worthwhiles to give those kernels a spin -- the stuff in the current F8 kernels is a little old now.(*) Let me know... John (*) I had to stop shoving stuff into F8 a couple of weeks back after a big wireless update broke a bunch of people's wireless while F8 was trying to freeze... :-( -- John W.
