[fedora-arm] WiFi Setup on Fedora 18 Raspi Remix

[Amit Saha]

Hey all,

I installed the latest (beta-2) image from http://scotland.proximity.on.ca/arm-nightlies/vault/f18-alpha-rpi-remix/. It boots great
and the display is great over HDMI and also detects all of my 512 MB RAM. Also the animated Raspi logo looks great. 

I wanted to configure WiFi using a USB wireless dongle. First, I wanted to look for the iw* tools, but
saw that the wireless-tools package is not shipped in the image. Fair enough.

So, I tried to use the nm-applet for configuring it. It shows all the wireless networks available, but
when I want to set it up, it gives an error saying that the user is not authorized (or something in that vain).
I tried both as a non-root and normal user with the same result.

The eth0 configures on its own beautifully.

Is this known? 

Thanks,
Amit.
