I'm sorry to read about your issues.  I've had a Toshiba laptop for 
several years now, running Fedora and the WiFi Just Works.  (The only 
problem I've had with it is that when I first got the laptop, I didn't 
know that the WiFi card has its own on/off switch.  Once I turned it on, 
all went well.)  Toshiba does have a mailing list for Linux users, at 
http://linux.toshiba-dme.co.jp/mailman/listinfo/tlinux-users but be 
warned: most of the members use one flavor or another of Ubuntu, so you 
may have to translate any advice they give into something more 
appropriate for Fedora.
