This *sounds* like an old bug I ran into where the nm-applet (the graphical icon with the pull down menu) got out of sync with what the underlying system (NetworkManager itself) had for the wireless network list. Can you run "nm-tool" in a terminal window, then run "iwlist scanning" as well (I think the latter needs to be run as root)? That may provide a clue as to what is being misdetected. The two should agree on the list of APs found, their encryption modes, etc. -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
