I have a Macbook Pro running Fedora 12 just fine. It does go to sleep and wake up and reconnect with ZERO issues. I also have a Macbook Pro running CentOS just fine as well. However Fedora is a lot farther ahead driver wise and application wise. It also took longer to configure CentOS to a good state. Chris
