I am experiencing a very strange anomaly with the Fedora 7 KDE Live CD on my Dell Inspiron 6400 laptop.
NetworkManager works fine with the wired interface (Broadcom 440), and the Wifi connection works fine (Intel 3945) when I use WPA security (pre-shared key with Linksys 802.11g AP), but is does *not* work correctly when attempting to connect to a completely OPEN access point (DLink 802.11b AP with no encryption).

By circumventing NetworkManager I can connect to the OPEN AP just fine. When I revert to Fedora Core 6 (installed on HD) everything works fine (including NetworkManager with both WPA and OPEN AP). So the problem is experienced only when using Fedora 7 with NetworkManager associating with my OPEN AP.

Is anyone else experiencing this problem?
