Is wireless support any better with FC5?

I would agree that FC5 is better than FC4, but your experience is probably 
very much dependant on your hardware.

I have a Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2100, and the ipw2100 driver is now in the 
kernel (Later FC4 kernels also have it). It appears rock solid (although the 
version in the current FC5 kernel is 1.1.3 and thus does not yet support WPA 
I think... WEP should be fine though.)

I also use NetworkManager, which I would also suggest is much more stable in 
FC5 than it was in FC4 - With this running things really did "just work" for 
me after installing FC5, which was not the case for FC4. I haven't had to do 
a single bit of network setup and the wireless connects fine, and plays well 
with my ethernet connection "Broadcom 4400 10/100BaseT"
