Yes, it is supported actually in 2.6.17.rc2 from www.kernel.org but this kernel version is not yet released for FC5. And as Steve said a bit earlier it is quite cumbersome to install it.
Anyway, I have an update: it works. I don't know how and why, but after a couple of reboots without the wired cable plugged in now I set the wireless network parameters in the NetworkManager applet and works. I still have to set it every time though and Keyring is asking me every time for the password. How can I make it be persistent? Cheers, Adrian.
