Which kernel version of Fedora 16?  Both releases are based on the 3.3.1 kernel now, so the drivers should be the same.
Comment 2 lionghostshop 2012-04-10 20:21:35 UTC 
I think the version is the same since I have updated fedora 16 before changing to 17. Or it can be other component's bug?
Comment 3 John W. Linville 2012-04-10 20:37:53 UTC 
Can we see the contents of /var/log/messages?

I cannot connect to sMobileNet, which uses PEAP.
Comment 5 lionghostshop 2012-04-11 05:37:22 UTC 
I've tried WiFi Link 5100, TP-link,  AR242x / AR542x. None of them work in Fedora 17.
Comment 6 John W. Linville 2012-04-12 14:57:45 UTC 
Looks like IPv4 configuration is succeeding and IPv6 configuration is failing.  Can you set NetworkManager to ignore IPv6 and try again?  Is is something like "Edit Connections", select the wireless network, find the IPv6 tab, and set Method to "Ignore"...

Once you ignore IPv6, does the connection succeed?
Comment 7 lionghostshop 2012-04-12 15:07:49 UTC 
It still failed. 
Please be noted that I also submitted a bug in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=811447.
You can find logs from wpa_supplant and dmesg
Comment 8 lionghostshop 2012-04-17 09:31:26 UTC 
It works now using follow versions of software components

kernel-3.3.2-1.fc17.x86_64.
NetworkManager-0.9.4.0-1.git20120328.fc17.x86_64
wpa_supplicant-1.0-0.2.fc17.x86_64

The key step is
I downgrade from wpa_supplicant-1.0-0.3.fc17.x86_64 wpa_supplicant-1.0-0.2.fc17.x86_64.

This is suggested in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=811447
Comment 9 John W. Linville 2012-04-17 14:11:57 UTC 
OK, sounds like the problem is with wpa_supplicant.  I'm closing this as NOTABUG (against the kernel) for now...
