I am using standard: Fedora + RpmFusion

Apologies about not using your built-in Wifi RT28XX
kernel since I am trying to stick to what Fedora provides,
in that way, I can check things out and send nice missives
when things breaks ;)

I hope someday soon, Fedora will start folding in
kernel Wifi drivers, such as you did, but I wonder
when/if it will happen, but I am in no hurry. :P
