The compat-wireless mechanism in Fedora is being dropped as soon as F16 rebases to the 3.3 kernel.  I don't see us investing much effort to fix this when it's going to be removed completely.

Comment 2 Pavel Alexeev 2012-03-10 14:54:59 UTC
When it should happen?

> When it should happen?

Around the time the 3.3.1 kernel is released.

Comment 4 Pavel Alexeev 2012-03-17 05:16:13 UTC
Ok, thank you for the info.
I've found 3.3 kernel from rawhide is stable enough for me.
I think then this bug may be closed as WONTFIX.
