I will mention that when I reboot, and I look in 'Network' in GNOME,
that I see 2 wireless cards listed. Originally, it showed 'wlan0' and

happened, but I'm wondering if kudzu doing something. Even when I
deleted the wlan0.bak option and rebooted, same thing.
I think this is part of the completely crazy pre-NM WiFi setup.
NM is crazy too, but in a different way.
Did you try, incidentally, "iwconfig wlan0 essid <whatever>"?
Do you have the ESSID set in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-wlan0 ?
Also maybe worth trying "iwconfig wlan0 MODE Managed" or "MODE AdHoc".
Ps I'm not a WiFi guru, just a sufferer from it.
See, on my other wireless system (laptop running Gentoo), I always fire
up my wireless this way with no trouble, no matter where I am. (Uh, the
manual CLI way) The script I use has never failed me to launch iwconfig
and then bring up the interface.
In Fedora, even from the CLI I cannot get the interface to connect.
It's UP, from the standpoint that I have an entry in ifconfig that tells
me it's up. The modules are loaded (and I've tried load/unload). I've
tried the other AP modes and still nothing. I just don't understand what
changed in a week. This is the one system I haven't wired because of
it's location and so far I've not had trouble with it.
At this point, I'm tempted to try Gentoo on it and see if that makes a
difference, just to make sure it's not some weirdness with Linux in
general with that card.
You might try the following:
* Open system-config-network.
* Delete all wireless interfaces and devices.
* Reboot, and let the hardware detector re-detect them.
* Try connecting again.
Yep. Tried that too. No go. It's the craziest thing.
