After updating to this I couldn't get wireless to work.

Downgrading to

NetworkManager.x86_64              1:0.8.0-7.git20100422.fc13   @fedora
NetworkManager-glib.x86_64         1:0.8.0-7.git20100422.fc13   @fedora
NetworkManager-gnome.x86_64        1:0.8.0-7.git20100422.fc13   @fedora

see network manager working again.

Of course I'm using the broadcom-wl driver (I have no choice) so I guess
this will not be address, but maybe others will report similar problems.
