Comment 1 Jirka Klimes 2014-08-28 08:09:06 UTC 
New NetworkManager packages moved Wi-Fi support to a plugin that is contained in NetworkManager-wifi package. The package should be installed on updates due to "Obsoletes" directive in the spec.
I guess it should work and believe that there are other reasons why the package is not pulled in (e.g. missing repo keys, etc.). See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1109517#c15

Paolo, could you check whether the NetworkManager-wifi was about to be installed by yum. What about dnf?
Comment 2 Paolo Bonzini 2014-08-28 16:43:04 UTC 
I can try again in a VM as soon as fedup is supported.
