Hum, it seems to break the ipw2200 driver. With the new udev package
the driver initialization fails with the following messages in the
log:

Looks like this matches ...
http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/#issues
The FC4 kernel has a patch to bump up that timeout already though.
Can you try this.. (as root)
rmmod ipw2200
echo 100 > /sys/class/firmware/timeout
modprobe ipw2200
and see if it does the same thing ?
