Thanks Michael. I see one person felt it was solved by the 11-03
compat-wireless.  Not sure which I used. (I've already reinstalled on
that machine for various reasons.)

Can Fedora do anything if it's a kernel bug?  

Maybe I'll try their (compat-wireless) git and see what happens.

Buffy: Ampata wasn't evil. At least, not to begin with.
And...I do think she cared
about you.
Xander: Yeah, but I think that whole sucking the life out of people
thing
would've been a strain on the relationship.
