Apple releases new iOS 4.2 GM seed for iPad to Developers
Apple has just released a second GM build of iOS 4.2 for iPad to developers. There's been several reports of wi-fi issues on the iPad under iOS 4.2 and it looks like this should address them. There were also rumors of iOS 4.2 being delayed due to the iPad issues.
As you can see from the screen above, the build number for the iPad has now been appended, meaning there's a new build. The original GM build was 8C134. The new iPad build is 8C134b. Hopefully this will resolve issues quickly and iOS 4.2 will drop sometime next week. If any developers see any changes other than the some general bug fixes for the iPad wi-fi issue, let us know! I only looked briefly but don't see anything other than iPad bug fixes.

Can non-developers get a hold of these GM's on the interwebs? would there be any detriment to doing so?
Sagiv, no. Just wait till it comes out for the public.
Having iTunes update but no iOS 4.2 is like my iPad has a can opener but the crate of supplies is on another island
Patience, Grasshopper.
I need to echo @Webvex - chill out, kids. It'll be here soon. Sheesh.
I'm amazed how people still don't realise that you don't need to be a developer to download the GMs. Google iOS 4.2 GM 8C134b Download and you'll find plenty of links. It's been linked just liked the last GM and works perfectly fine.

The latest GM also fixes invisible Emoji keyboard icons.
Sajiv, you can always go the jailbreak way and replace your ios version with another os submitted by devs online
I gave the first GM it works cool that wifi issue does Suck does anyone have the link to the "b" version.
The iPhone 4 iOS 4.2GM is buggy too ....
I kind of knew that it wasn't gonna happen when the rumors first appeared in the Guardian and now the Telegraph. - I've never known either of these papers to be a reliable source of tech news!!! Take it all with a very large pinch of salt folks and just pray that the big A iron out the problems. I wish Apple would make GM more widely available as an optional install...
I downloaded the second gm release and it does not appear to fix the wifi issue. Anyone else have same results?
