I have F9 running on a computer with just one nic. Everything worked
until about a week ago, when the nic suddenly no longer automatically

connects then. I still haven't figured out why this happened or what
the correct fix is.
I had a thread going about the recent "enhancement" to NetworkManager.
After applying that both my hardwire and wireless NICs stopped working.
Did you by any chance "upgrade" your packages recently, say about the
time everything stopped working? Mine worked after the upgrade until the
next reboot, then went away forever. I tried to force a downgrade, but
rpm was designed to work in one direction only, there's no way to tell
rpm or yum to roll back and rollback all the dependencies at the same
time.
Unfortunately, I don't remember any details except that, as you noted,
no network connection was established at system powerup one morning.
I gave up, I removed NM totally and completely, and now do the whole
setup with a script run at boot time.
All I have do to get connectivity is run dhclient as root.
Interesting. I run iwconfig to set the essid, channel, and key. Then dhclient.
Previously NM had all the info except the channel, and figured that out in
"Managed" mode. After it stopped working I tried "Ad-hic" as well, so I could
set the channel. Made no difference.
