Workaround:wireless doesn't work after switching button to 'on' in F15,Intel wireless

After upgrading to F15 on Intel wireless :

turn on wireless button and no wireless networks are shown in the Network Manager. This does not happen all the time.

run as superuser:

rmmod ipw2200
modprobe ipw2200

This will reset your driver and connections should appear now. This is for Intel based chipset only.
Probably a regression of some sort...
