I'm seeing similar symptoms with kernel-2.6.25-0.218.rc8.git7.fc9.
Please try the kernels here: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=46311 They have a patch that was reported to fix this problem. Do they help?
Ok, kernel-2.6.24.4-82 fixed the problem, now I'm writing with this.... wifi working and login like ever :) thank you linville :) Obviously I continue to use and test the 2.6.24.4-82 kernel, so I can report any bugs ;) bye! ;)
