I also have wireless problems under F12. In my case the problem has to do with network strength. I have a laptop that dual boots Windows 7 and F12. Under Windows 7 I can see and connect to more wireless networks than I can under F12. In all cases that I have tried if the signal is low or poor F12 will never succeed in connecting, but W7 will. I have tried both the internal wireless (Intel 3945) and an external Linksys USB adapter. Even if the signal is good F12 will not report available wireless connections.
I normally run F12 so if there is anything I can tweek on F12 to improve accessibility I would like to know.
