Which driver are you using?  I've got an Intel Pro
3945ABG running with the ipw3945 driver, using
the Freshrpms dmks based package.  When I
saw your message I rebooted (since I hadn't done
that since getting the kernel update this morning).
DKMS built the driver but for whatever reason
NetworkManager didn't see the device (I assume
the driver wasn't loaded for some reason).

Since there were no errors apparent in /v/l/messages
or dmesg I tried rebooting and that appears to have
fixed it.  Possibly some dkms oddness caused it to
fail the first time.

Otherwise if you're using Livna ipw395 or the new
iwlwifi I'm afraid I can't help.
