    I turned on the software again so that I could receive some data and 
that worked fine but I got an odd error message that said:

(gmfsk:7540): GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager:
Could not open network socket.
*** opensnd: open: /dev/dsp: Device or resource busy ***

The gmfsk:7540 is my old software and the part about not open network 
socket sounds like it might be bacause I am using NetworkManager now. 
This IS a change from FC6 so I think it is worth changing back to 
network to see if that fixes the problem.
