Dan, Do you think this will fix the TKIP issue brought up by Kevin and myself earlier this week? Our workplace is using a hidden SSID which worked with 0.6.5 but is now broken with 0.7.0. I think we assumed it was a TKIP issue, but it may just be the hidden SSID issue you mention. If John L. rolls a test kernel with fixes (I assume he's the wireless maintainer you mention), I'd be glad to try it out before it hits fedora-testing or updates. Thanks! /Brian/
