FYI, I had pulled this out of koji and tried it this morning but the
iwlwifi changes seem to have caused a regression.  It seems the driver
goes a bit batty and leaves the system in an odd state; the boot
continues, but X won't start and the keyboard does nothing.  Perhaps
interrupts are disabled.

I've not had any real luck with iwlwifi yet.  The F7test4 kernel will
actually see public networks but won't associate; nothing later even
does that much.  (I'm also having problems resuming from suspend to
RAM with all F7 kernels where FC6 kernels work fine, but that's for
another report.)

The machine is a Sony Vaio TXN17P:
