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.
