Same here running a RHEL4 notebook - took a little tinkering getting the IPW2200 wireless working, but no problems at all. I'm interested in the reasons people suggest against installing/using Fedora/RedHat - I've not had any problems with them (currently using FC2/FC4/RHEL4 MythTV systems). The one overriding issue I (and most DVB/ivtv users) have faced is getting their respective modules playing nicely together. Now that the ivtv project is being integrated in to the kernel this should become a thing of the past. On my laptop, the only devices not usable are the memory card reader and the smartcard reader, which I can live with.
