I yum erased wpa*

this not only removed wpa_supplicant and wpa_supplicant_gui, but also NetworkManager and its gnome interface. I then

yum install NetworkManager*

This added wpa_supplicant back in.

rebooted.

I can connect to the AP with no security, but not the one with PSK Passphrase (which needs wpa_supplicant). And the man pages only lists ipw2200, not ipw3945.

So I am suspecting that there is no wpa support for my card?????

I've used WPA with my 3945 card (in a ThinkPad Z61t) on both Fedora 7 w/ ipw3945 and Fedora 8 w/ iwl3945. So, it can work. On F7, I did the whole config manually (I don't use any DE, so I tend to have to do things this way) -- including editing /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth1 to have the correct ESSID and editing /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_wupplicant.conf with my PSK. I'm *guessing* that would work for you.

I don't know how to get it working with NM -- sorry.
