Interesting message in another list.
for me fedora is very slow to get dhcp address.
Reading the hackernews comments on it makes me wonder if this is a very good
idea. It may work for people in certain usecases, but in the case of Fedora
probably not so much

Here's an article that tries to explain why Mac OS is so much faster
at connecting to networks than Linux and Windows:

Could such an implementation be considered for the OLPC OS? XOs go on
and off the network all the time, as power management kicks in and the
machines move in and out of AP range (or switch to a different AP).
This is a disruptive process, and speeding it up would be welcome.
