    Well it sounds like the kernel people are trying to maintain the 
proper functions for your wireless. I have a big old laptop with F7 on 
it and I had to get the mad-wify driver from a web page not fedora to 
get it to work. It was a pain and I do not upgrade the laptop so it 
keeps working :-)

    The guy who told me I was wrong and wanted you to file a bug report 
must be a kernel expert. You might do that for him. He may need it.
