None whatsoever :)

But I will _backport_ that change, whatever it is.  The problem is that with 
wireless-tools-28, the soname of the library changes to .28, which means that 
packages like NetworkManager, kdenetwork, and others need to be recompiled 
completely to pick up that soname change.

I thought the change required was to "just wait longer" for the Atheros cards, 
which I added to wireless-tools-27.1.2.0.fc3 in fc3-updates, but I'll have to 
check.
