In brief, I have two WiFi LANs in my house;
and this seems to confuse NM.
If I try to change from one to the other
NM loses all knowledge of both,
and I have to re-boot to get any connection.

Actually, I have found that taking out my PCMCIA WiFi card
and re-inserting it seems to do almost as well as re-booting.

[There used to be a "service pcmcia" under Fedora,
but that seems to have disappeared.]

With my present understanding of NM,
I would give it beta minus,
while I would give the standard system-config-network delta,
as I cannot understand what it is trying to do (eg with profiles),
and it definitely does not seem to be doing anything sensible.
