Well, I used to have to configure wpa_supplicant myself for WPA, and then
get the startup scripts to do things in the right order - it may of be very
simple a couple of versions down the road - but I would still be interested
and bemused to know what the experience is for someone trying it now in F11
compared to when I was spending quite a bit of time on it in F8/9! Maybe it
is easy now (tongue remains firmly in cheek!)
