It may not be the card, but the driver.  For some reason, I commonly have wifi problems with new Fedora releases, particularly on a Toshiba laptop I use -- I don't have the machine here and can't remember the NIC, but I think it uses a realtek driver of some sort.  I make a report to bugzilla, and it sits there for a couple of months.  Eventually I'll get an email saying "we upgraded the kernel -- did that fix it?"  and it did.  I tend to run Mint in the meantime.
