<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color: #000000;font-size: 10pt;">Greetings,<br>
<br>
A wifi bug was brought to our attention a few weeks ago, initially I thought it this was a network manager issue after looking into it further I was able to determine that this was actually caused by the Authorization Manager (Polkit). The polkit service was
failing to start, but nm-applet requires certain policies that are provided by the polkit service. After narrowing down the problem to polkit I eventually realized that
<a href="http://arm.koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=81991">js-1.8.5-10.fc18</a> was the real issue the v5 version of this package was built incorrectly. The issue has since been resolved and the new js-1.8.5-11.fc18 works like a charm, but just
in case any of this information is useful to anyone I am posting some of the errors I received while looking into it.<br>
