Wow..... This now works (with kernel-2.6.15-1.1884_FC5)!!!!! Appears to be a few SELinux issues that I've filed in fedora-selinux-list, but it works in permissive mode. Thanks! This is a big win.... :-D I'm closing this.....
Not workign for me. See istanbul attached file for example. It may not be immediately clear, although in the screencast, these messages appear in the logs.

I know this is using the madwifi drivers, but this did work a few weeks back.
Created attachment 134780 [details] Ogg file of the error. [wmealing@localhost ~]$ rpm -q NetworkManager NetworkManager-0.7.0-0.cvs20060529.6 [wmealing@localhost ~]$ rpm -q wpa_supplicant wpa_supplicant-0.4.8-10.1.fc6 [wmealing@localhost ~]$ uname -a Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.17-1.2583.fc6 #1 SMP Tue Aug 22 00:29:50 EDT 2006 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
This happens on wpa , and wep networks, I first found this out on my wpa network at home.
Fixed in: NetworkManager-0.7.0-0.cvs20060529.7 Guess it can be closed .. again
