We've discussed connection troubles here.  Prominent, widespread
problem is that users have 2 services turned on that should be off.
The wpa_supplicant and network services should be off, and
NetworkManager should be on.

I was one of the people for whom wireless never worked and I
complained all the time.  Finally removing the wpa_supplicant service
was the key, and now I can connect to wireless dependably using the
nm-applet program.
