In my case, the patched NM solved the problem.

If you want, you can try it as follows:
1. Enable the yum repo /etc/yum.d/fedora-updates-testing.repo
   $ sudo vi /etc/yum.d/fedora-updates-testing.repo
   (change "enabled=0" in "enabled=1")
2. sudo yum update NetworkManager
3. Disable the "feodra-updates-testing" repo
   $ sudo vi /etc/yum.d/fedora-updates-testing.repo
   (change "enabled=1" in "enabled=0")
4. Reboot and cross your fingers
