Such fun!
If you've got a bug on the blocker list, or if you have a system using
software RAID or dmraid (aka BIOS-raid aka fakeraid) *please* try an
install/upgrade from rawhide today. Upgrades on FC6 systems using
software RAID on IDE drives are especially important.
Furthermore, if you've got iwlwifi (Intel 3945 wireless) hardware,
please update your system and let us know how it works.
For more info on installing rawhide, see:

Just updated my F7 partition to the latest and greatest. As far as I can
tell 3945 WiFi works well. It seems to authenticate faster than before
where it would sit at stage 2 for a while before going through 3,4 and 5
(if at all). Strength was a bit low (72-75%) give a distance of max 3
feet from the AP. Suspend did not work. It hung at "shutting down
consoles" or something like that (black screen, top left, 2nd message).
Before trying suspend I did see this warning in /var/log/messages:

Hope this helps.
