Description Edmond 2007-07-25 12:26:16 UTC 
Description of problem:
After a yum update a day ago, the Intel Pro wireless 3945 wireless card
disappeared from network manager, rendering no wireless function at all. Smolt
still reporting it but that's all. 

The hardware is a Thinkpad T60 see
http://smolt.fedoraproject.org/show?UUID=eac88a4e-757b-4343-b375-4220dfac422e

Also found that in system-config-network that the wireless connection is unable
to change (OK button disabled) and wlan device renamed to wlan0.bak

Noticed recently iwlwifi and network manager were updated.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
NetworkManager-gnome-0.6.5-7.fc7
iwlwifi-firmware-2.14.4-1
kernel-2.6.21-1.3228.fc7

How reproducible:
unknown... currently struck with all latest

Steps to Reproduce:
1. yum update to latest
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
wireless service lost

Expected results:
no impact to network manager and wireless service
