When we can expect a default-out-of-the-box wireless (ipw2x00) support
in Fedora?
In latest Ubuntu they already have.

Its kinda pain when you don't have other connection but only thru wifi.
I just tried FC4 and again i need to download the firmware to make it work.
good thing i have ubuntu to do the downloading. yes i have ubuntu and
fedora dual boot.

more power to fedora!
