#3 is of course, guaranteed not to win us friends with the
wireless users.
As a professional security guy, long-time Red Hat/Fedora user, and
sometimes wireless sufferer, I'd lean towards option 1. From what I
understand, the wireless updates would enable the RTL8187 USB Wireless
devices that I have, which would be great, but waiting another week or
two for them isn't a big deal. I've had my share of wireless
fluctuation (iwl4965 on x86_64) over the past while and -86 seems to be
running pretty stable.
