Hello,

Yes, I also asked this problem on this list last week. For your reference, 
this is the thread:
http://marc.info/?l=fedora-list&m=125988446000571&w=2

Also, I observe that this workaround mentioned in one of bug reports (see 
below)  *seem* to give me better / more usable networking: 
"iwconfig wlan0 power off"
YMMV.

Here are several bug reports I bookmarked:
