Is NetworkManager really as broken as it seems?

[Brian C. Huffman]

That's a difficult chipset.  I haven't moved to F8 or rawhide yet - still on F7, but the iwl driver in F7 was not nearly good enough to use for the Intel 3945 wireless chipset.  I had to go with the ipw3945 package which works pretty well with some tweaking.

FYI - if you can't make the Fedora driver work, you might try the ipw one here:

I also hope that the iwl driver that's packaged with Fedora 8 is in better shape to deal with this chipset.  I may try to install on my laptop soon to help squash some of the bugs.
