Comment 7 Noe Nieto 2012-02-10 18:20:04 UTC 
Sorry, I'm very new with koji build system. Can you point me to some documentation so I can try that kernel build you are refering me to?

Comment 8 Stanislaw Gruszka 2012-02-10 18:36:11 UTC 
Your arch is x86_64, so download this kernel:

http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/getfile?taskID=3773405&name=kernel-3.2.5-3.scratch.fc16.x86_64.rpm

Then do as root:

rpm -ivh kernel-3.2.5-3.scratch.fc16.x86_64.rpm 

And then boot into the new kernel.
Comment 9 Noe Nieto 2012-02-10 19:08:57 UTC 
It works very well with this kernel. Wireless is working again! :D :D

Here's the output of uname -a

uname -a
Linux hormiga-gris 3.2.5-3.scratch.fc16.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Feb 8 22:49:34 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I'll attach dmesg output.
