Finally I was able to install the ipw3945 packages from atrpms (thanks
atrpms!) and it's working now. I'll stick to ipw3945 for the time

Although I had nothing but problems with this release (hang at boot,
the wifi issue), it was nothing out of the ordinary for a brand new
Fedora. The first few weeks are always troublesome.

Thanks for the help!
