I have seen some reports of connection problems when running laptops with iwl4965 wireless to Access Points running 802.11N when using WPA (WPA2) encryption with kernel 2.6.26 (or 2.6.27). Apparently these problems came to light only with these newer kernels and 2.6.25 ran successfully.
Before deciding on whether to upgrade my wireless access points to newer wireless N capable boxes I would appreciate hearing of any other user experiences confirming whether anyone has been able to successfully connect via WPA to a Wireless N access point with the newer series of kernels.
If there have been problems in this regard then any useful pointers to workarounds would be appreciated.
I have been running the newer kernels to wireless G access points without any problems at all but wireless N is quite new so the experiences of others would be useful knowledge.

I think the issue your talking about is covered in the following RHBZ https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=457154

And this bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=465696. There has been no response to this either.
Hope we can get N-routers (and my card ath9k) working with FC10.
Thanks, Partha
