Done: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=336221 Any chance of getting the workaround patch in the next NM package for FC5? This would at least give ndiswrapper, etc a chance to get their act together without punishing the end users (ie. make it clear the patch isn't going upstream and won't exist in FC6/RHEL5).
