As a counter-example, WPA Enterprise/EAP-TLS wireless is/has been 
working fine for me under Fedora 9 and 10.  I just used nm-applet to 
configure the connection with PEM certificates.

NetworkManager-gnome-0.7.0-0.12.svn4326.fc10.i386
NetworkManager-glib-0.7.0-0.12.svn4326.fc10.i386
NetworkManager-0.7.0-0.12.svn4326.fc10.i386
wpa_supplicant-0.6.4-2.fc10.i386

I used to have intermittent troubles, problems after resume, etc. with 
2.6.25 and 2.6.26 kernels.  All of my troubles went away with the 
newer 2.6.27-based kernels.  This is with the iwl4965 chipset.
