implementation/packaging of NM, dbus, or ?
I still have a couple of systems running FC6 on different wireless

of this bug, and I'm out of ideas :-(
In any event, thanks for trying to get this working in Feisty,
To help others who may have this issue, and to help developers debug

Hmm, not good.

Oh, yes, then there is that other thing that I forgot to mention:
The first time I connected to my WPA-protected network, although it
*was visible* to NetworkManager (NM),
