Well, the "original" issue as such was introduced by changes to the
wireless extensions that went into 2.6.26. We have a fix for this in trunk
for vanilla kernel 2.6.26 (see #2022). Fedora backported the WE-changes to
their 2.6.25 kernel, causing the problem described in this ticket.
It should be possible to backport the fix from trunk and make it apply to
Fedora's 2.6.25 kernel. However, Fedora users struck by this issue would
be required to manually apply the patch themselves; as explained above
it's not easily possible to commit this patch to our repository, because
it would break compatibility for all non-Fedora users.
Personally, I don't have enough time and motivation to provide such a
patch. Not sure about others.
