I just noticed that my wireless (which has been working flawlessly
since installing F12) is no longer available. NM has wireless grayed
out as "disabled."
I uninstalled and re-installed kmod-wl and broadcom-wl. I deleted the
connection and re-created it in the NM dialog. No joy.
I notice using iwconfig:
IEEE 802.11bg ESSID:""
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.412 GHz Access Point: Not-Associated
Bit Rate:54 Mb/s Tx-Power:24 dBm
Retry min limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Encryption key:off
Power Managementmode:All packets received
Link Quality=5/5 Signal level=0 dBm Noise level=0 dBm
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
Given that NM requires an associated AP, it looks like it is not able
to negotiate WPA2.
Unfortunately, I am not sure when this occurred.
Kernel=2.6.32.9-70.fc12.i686.PAE
