Are both wireless stacks going to be included in F7?

mac80211 will be included alongside the existing upstream ieee80211 stuff
(which isn't really a 'stack', more a library).

Is there a way to turn this off via grub for the anaconda install? I get
a NULL dereference in the iwlwifi driver (that gets autoloaded as I have
internal ipw3945 wireless hardware) which deadlocks my system.

Oops attached for reference, although it's already in bugzilla.

booting with 'noprobe' and then selecting your /other/ hardware
by hand might work.

I think this one got fixed a day or so ago. It looks familiar.
The latest build seems to have issues associating with APs though.

Ick, but nice to know, thanks.

Yup, we are a little better with todays rawhide. I can now boot with my
ipw3945 internal wireless network card detected, without an oops. It
won't associate tho, as you mentioned.

I then inserted my zd1211rw_mac80211 usb2 network dongle (which has been
working with 2960) and got the attached oops (again with iwlwifi oddly
enough...) Hard hang, *BOOM*.

Maybe something to do with multiple drivers using mac80211?

Richard.
