Maybe I am tripping over something in NetworkManager ... Looking at the logs that it generates, it seems that it can't do WPA out of the box or it is not supported even thought wpa_supplicant is installed(weird). What's even weirder is that I can't associate with a wide-open AP. Here are some logs (/var/log/messages). Maybe someone with a few seconds can peruse them and tell me what I have screwed up.

At this point(on a AP with WAP), I get a pop-up that states: "The requested wireless network requires security capabilities unsupported by your hardware" I don't get this message if I use the madwifi-ng RPM's from: http://homepages.nildram.co.uk/~phekda/richdawe/fedora/FC5/i386/ I get the WAP password prompt, but that's about it. I attached a log from that attempt. any guidance would be appreciated. Sean Bruno
