I see something vaguely similar on an eee pc, but only since
yesterday. Perhaps it's caused by a yum update I did, which updated

wpa_supplicant-0.6.3-6.fc9.i386
libsysfs-2.1.0-4.fc9.i386
selinux-policy-3.3.1-69.fc9.noarch
selinux-policy-targeted-3.3.1-69.fc9.noarch
hal-info-20080607-1.fc9.noarch

and a bunch of perl-related stuff. If so, then the culprit in your
problem may be one of these packages, too.
