At the time of the Fedora 11 release, I didn't push anybody to upgrade to 11, while I've been a Fedora fanatic since F7. There was nothing wrong in F11 per se, only, it was slow, looked a bit bland... Now comes F12, that I recently installed, and updated (as of 08/02/2010):

 

Ouch.

 

GSM's 3G networks are still not working, while I know from reporting bugs to Dan Williams of RedHat that these people work hard to get it right... And it supposedly is, in so many other instances.

 

I have ben trying Ubuntu 9.10 too (9.04 was perfect in that respect), with the same not-even-pretend-to-connect isue; I know it's a broader problem because on my Music Workstation, a big deskop running a networlkless UbuntuStudio910, I installed the lot and it works there... I should file more bug reports, but I don't know where to start anyway!

So I advise, if 3G/EDGE is vital for you, that you stay away from F12 and U910 for now, alas. It may be particular to Cambodian networks.
I'll update as soon as I see it fixed; Curently, Debian Squeze and Sabayon5.0 do very good with 3g.


 

Cheers geeks & geekettes!
