OK, I did what I found on the wiki, except the part about Mouse, as I do not 
have a pb with it.
Now everything works like a charm, except one very important thing : 
wifi ;-(
Now when I boot, I have a message like that : "error for wireless 
request "set mode (8B06)". Set failed on device wlan0. invalid argument.

I have that message since I've updated the packages. When I just installed 
F8 from the DVD, I didn't get that warning, but the wifi didn't work 
though.
The little led that shows that wifi is activated is off.
Thank you for your help. Francois
