I have encountered this since last night and could not get a connection even with wired connection.  NetworkManager crashed panel and got message that something was not working thought it was kernel :(, then I tried to downgrade NetworkManager and apparently it is too late :(

I tried to connect, panel crashed came back.  Wired connection fails miserably, message says cable unplugged and it is there :)  Windows connects, porteus connects just here and yes it was working, and now it is not :(.  The other machines are working, it is just this one

[olivares at toshiba-satellite ~]$ uname -a
Linux toshiba-satellite 2.6.38.8-32.fc15.i686 #1 SMP Mon Jun 13 20:01:50 UTC 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux



This is true, in the other machines things work and in this one it does not(as it should) running KDE here if it is important.

Regards,

Antonio
