Hi,


i use Fujitsu Siemens Lifebooks (1320 with onboard IPW2200)  with FC4 
and WPA(TKIP) connecting to linksys and/or lancom access points.
It works perfect! Better than M$!

I'm a little bit scary about the migration to FC5. FC4 is a very very 
stable distro :-) . Perhaps i will try it in a few weeks.
