Comment(by dcbw):

 I'm having a really tough time getting wireless-2.6/everything (which is
 caught up to libertas-2.6 minus two irrelevant patches) to associate to
 anything WEP right now and pass traffic with either iwconfig or
 wpa_supplicant (no NM involved).  I need to investigate more but until I
 can get that working I have doubts that everything is OK in OLPC-land too.

 I saw a few issues today with wireless-2.6/everything on my thinkpad with
 F7's 2.6.23.12-52.fc7:

 1) Scans would timeout using both 5.110.20.p0 and 5.110.17.p5 and hang the
 card while doing so

 2) Can't rmmod/insmod the modules and have the card work again; you need
 to actually unplug the thing to get it to take firmware upload again.
 Maybe the driver isn't correctly resetting the 8388 when the driver starts
 up?

 3) Even once associated with a WEP AP, 3 out of 4 times DHCP wouldn't work
 and I couldn't get an address.  Happened randomly.

 #1 worries me the most here.
