I installed FC10 on my notebook last week. The installation ( not 
kickstart )went well. As I posted already, it detects my aircard which 
is a very good point to me when I am on the road but the vpnc fails 
connecting to my office while the Cisco tool works fine.

About the stability, it has been just a few days for me to say, but last 
night, after I logged of and logged in back , Network Manager stopped 
working. Restarting Network Manager showed "failed". Tried again, same 
thing. Then I rebooted the notebook with init 6. The shutdown process 
hung at stopping iptables and I had to power it off and on.

Besides that problem, I am happy with FC10 so far.
