Comment 1 Jirka Klimes 2011-04-19 14:26:10 UTC 
Please could you grab output of:
* dmesg
* nm-tool
* iwconfig

Also, please post /var/log/messages for NetworkManager logs.

Did it worked with F14?
Comment 2 Aaron 2011-04-20 01:30:57 UTC 
The problem has been solved by installing rpm fusion for rawhide (and they said its what will become F15) and installing the akmod-wl package, but it would be nice to have support out of the box
