I've enabled Network Manager via chkconfig and rebooted. The system sees the built-in wireless but it will not connect to my network secured with WPA2. It spins for a while then gives up. What's the trick to this?

You should disable network and enable NetworkManager, NetWorkManagerDispatcher and of this I am not sure but there is the nm-applet that may have to be enabled of it may as before work automatically when NetworkManager finds a wlan. -- ======================================================================= Well, I'm INVISIBLE AGAIN ...

It's no consolation, but Steven's not alone. The logs show that my router is broadcasting and my card is picking it up, but I can't connect.

Done. But... I can see the list of available access points and /var/log/messages shows wpa_supplicant being fired up to send handle the handshake. But then it just seems to die.

Replying to myself:
I can connect to my home network that uses a 128bit hex key. The problem seems to be in the wpa authentication rather than in the wireless connection itself.

Uh, what kind of card is it? Under FC6, the "bcm4xxx" driver never worked for me with WPA (and barely worked for 128 bit WEP). To get the beblistered thing to work I had to run ndiswrapper and the Winblows driver for it.
Just my $.02.

It's using the iwl3945 driver.
