anyone else having weird networking issues with the latest FC5 (2.6.17) kernel?

I'm seeing some bizarre networking problems with the latest FC5
kernel.  On one system, all of my ethernet interfaces have reversed
themselves.  eth2 is now eth0, eth0 is eth2.  If I boot back into the
last 2.6.16 based kernel, everything 'works' as expected again.

On another system, where I'm using ndiswrapper-1.18 for a PCI wifi
NIC, it just doens't work at all in the 2.6.17 kernel.  I see tons of
messages in dmesg about wlan0 getting reset, and there's no throughput
at all (100% packet loss).  Falling back to the last 2.6.16 kernel
fixed that problem too.
