Can you try to delete the following files? I've encountered issues with 4965 and 3945 when the following files are present. Removing them and letting the initscript stuff clear it's head has worked in the past. /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-wlan0 Before you do this, could you provide the output of: ls /sys/class/net Thanks!
[hondaman@localhost ~]$ ls /sys/class/net eth1 lo There was no ifcfg-wlan0, only ifcfg-wlan0.bak, and I removed it. Rebooted, and NM does not show a wireless option yet.
I just installed the latest koji kernel, and it seems to have fixed my wireless kernel-2.6.23.1-35.fc8 I have now connected to my WAP!
I've noticed a similar behavior on 2.6.23.1-10.fc7 on x86_64. iwl4965 doesn't start normally. If you "rmmod iwl4965;modprobeiwl4965" then "ifup wlan0", things work. Is udev taking too long to set things up based on the startup sequences?

Linville <linville> - iwlwifi: clear irqs before enabling them This problem got a lot better for my iwl3945 on F8 after this patch that went into -37 on October 26th. -10 on F7 is October 19th, so it wouldn't have this patch. You could try that patch?
2.6.23.1-17.fc7 from koji requires me to rmmod and modprobe iwl4065 but my wireless does come up. Does it have the patch in question? I am betting Bug 340221 is related or a dupe. I am downloading 2.6.23.1-19.fc7 now from koji.
-> kernel then since it's a kernel thing
F8 bug is fixed, but same bug is in F7
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=23094 -20 for F7 is being built now apparently with the patch mentioned above.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=340221 is closed, the patch Warren mentioned for F8 solved my F7 problems in 2.6.23.1-20.fc7
