Yes, I downloaded the rpm and installed it.
I chose to remove unnecessary packages for my hardware during installation, but I actually used that package since I was connected.

Valid 4beta1 (live dvd gnome 32)

Saw it remove rtlwifi-firmware with unused packages, and lots of other firmware.

After reboot wifi only offers ndiswrapper so is unable to connect and add medias.
