thanks Mike. I had to enable the it: [bmike1@HavensARCH ~]$ nmcli radio wifi enabled [bmike1@HavensARCH ~]$ nmcli device wifi connect NETGEAR48 password sweetdaisy507 Device 'wlan0' successfully activated with '4e83077c-e4c4-4de6-9e6b-4f5ca37c451e'.
and after that wifi worked. Now I can take my computer with us when we go away for the weekend and need two computers!
