I have both Gnome and KDE. I prefer KDE and was planning on just
installing KDE with F9. But it seems that Network Manager is a Gnome
app. So my question is this, do I need to install Gnome to get Network
Manager, or will only installing KDE give me Network Manager also?

No, Fedora will run KDE apps under Gnome and vice-versa.

Also, after I install the, wpa_supplicant RPM, I will not have to do
any configuration for it and Network Manager will do it all? Am I
right in saying this?

I'm pretty sure I haven't configured mine. NM should invoke with everything it thinks it needs.

Matthew is correct in that you will probably have less problems it you stop and disable your "network" service before you start playing with NM. I learned this the hard way under FC6 where its was a pain for NM to establish a connection to my Linksys wrt56g with the "network" service running. Under F9, I disabled network, and while connecting still isn't perfect, it works *much* better now.

Thanks again Kevin.
