The bug report[1] states that it is an ndiswrapper issue. Fedora AFAIK 
does not support ndiswrapper as it is a kernel module that is not 
upstream. Fedora shouldn't have anything to worry about.

If you use ndiswrapper, you should check upstream or see if Gentoo has 
already done so, which I bet they have.
