Is NM supposed to have WPA support built-in yet? I know that is on the roadmap but I don't know if it made it into FC5. I tried to start the wpa_supplicant service via system-config-services but it wouldn't run. So I ran it as a daemon with all the commandline switches in place but couldn't tell if it was working properly. There was no error output bu no success either and no GUI to set the key ... just iwconfig. :[

Has anyone gotten NetworkManager or the network gui
applet to recognize wlan0 usin ndiswrapper?
I can manage wlan0 fine in cli, but not the nice gui
tools. So I think its not an ndiswrapper of
wireless-tools problem.
