I I've been able to do WPA[2]-PSK without problems so far; at the moment the applet will only accept the hex key for WEP and WPA-PSK. Also adding "-ddd" to the end of the Exec= line in /usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/fi.epitest.hostap.WPASupplicant and restarting should put a wealth of debugging information in /var/log/wpa_supplicant.log which is very useful in these situations. > >> downgraded NetworkManage and wpa_supplicant to the F7 versions and it > >> worked as usual. > > > > I think that uses the same underlying wifi stack as the iwl3945. > > Regardless we're fixing this bugs as fast as we can as they come up. > > Each new day's NetworkManager should improve upon the last. > > Just adding my experience wrt iwl3945 getting the blame.

People with iwlwifi have not been so lucky for some reason. I still don't consider mac80211 "stable" given the quirks we've seen with it and the ongoing heavy development upstream.
