Not sure on FE, I'll wait and see if a fix shows up.

A workaround exists which is turning power save off but the underlying problem is why does power save cause that in the first place

Hardware specific. 5 Mbps is definitely painfully slow by modern standards (assuming reporter meant big M little b, 5 mega bytes per second would be pretty serviceable, 5 milli bits per second would be completely unusable), but fast enough to find workaround online. I'm hesitant to support a FE without any idea what the fix looks like.

Agree. This isn't even blocking hardware.

Discussed at the 2026-04-20 (blocker / freeze exception) review meeting:

This is rejected as a non-fatal (but annoying) issue on a single wifi chip is clearly below the threshold. If we blocked Fedora releases on annoying issues on single wifi chips, we'd never release anything. FE status left open as votes are split for now.
