Comment 2 Hans de Goede 2007-06-10 11:54:20 UTC 
This is not a network-manager problem, the iwl3945 in the F-7 kernel has known
troubles working with wpa.

There is an F7 kernel-update candidate available here:
http://people.redhat.com/davej/kernels/Fedora/fc7/RPMS.kernel/

Which amongst other things contains various fixes to the iwl3945 driver. Please
try this kernel and report back how it works for you.

Always be carefull when testing new kernels. Use rpm -ivh to install the new
kernel besides your current one so that you can always boot back into the old
kernel.
