The network config tools need some work.  (Especially for Wireless.)  I 
have been trying to get my bcm4306 chipset wireless to work.  The network 
tools don't see it.  (And I have the firmware that I used on FC6 with no 
problems.)  The list of wireless cards in the drop down list seems very 
old.  It needs to be updated to the currently supported list.  (As much as 
wireless is at this point...)
