Wireless

[Brian Anderson]

Before today's rawhide NM was working OK for me, but after today (2/6) I 
too see behavior where the IP address isn't being picked up.  NM shows 
all the APs in my area and attempts to connect, but fails.  The notable 
message I get is:
dhcdbd: message_handler: message handler not found under 
/com/redhat/dhcp/ath0 for sub-path ath0.dbus.get.reason

it appears regardless of whether enforcement is on or not (just in case 
there was a suspicion it was selinux related). 

NM doesn't seem to have a problem with eth0 though.
