Problem with NetworkManager (self-inflicted)

It all started with Puppy Linux 5.2.  I setup a LiveCD and jumped in to get
familiar with it.  I had some trouble with connectivity.  I eventually got
around to trying my linksys Wireless-G dongle.  This showed some promise
although I was unable to find the correct Puppy driver for the dongle and
eventually removed the Wireless-G and shelved that project.   Later on, I
tried to log on with Fedora and found that NetworkManager was now unusable.
Okay, after fiddling around with it for a while, I did a complete reinstall
of Fedora (including reformatting the disk) and low-and-behold
NetworkManager still doesn't work. I would have thought the Fedora reinstall
would have installed the correct driver but apparently it didn't.  I am able
to send this because I have plugged the Wireless-G back in. (aargh!)   Has
anyone ever seen this sort of thing?
