Description of problem: When any wireless network encrypted with WPA2 (can't test other types of encryption ATM) is selected in nm-applet's network list, NM will attempt to associate with the network for ~30 seconds. Then it asks for the network password. Upon entering the password, it simply goes through the same thing again. This has been a regularly occurring problem; it seems to occur about every third update to NetworkManager or so. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): NetworkManager: 1:0.7.0-0.6.7.svn3235 NetworkManager-gnome: Same as NetworkManager I'm also using kernel version 2.6.23.14-115. How reproducible: Happens every time a wireless network is chosen in nm-applet. Actual results: NetworkManager makes repeated failed attempts to associate with WPA2-encrypted networks. Expected results: NetworkManager successfully associates with with my WPA2 network. Note that it had been doing so with no problems for a while, until I installed updates earlier today (which included a NetworkManager update). Additional info: A relevant portion of my /var/log/messages is attached. It contains output from NetworkManager as I did the following: 1. Selected my WPA2 network in nm-applet 2. Waited for it to associate 3. It threw up a window asking for the network's password, which I provided. 4. It threw up the same window again. 5. I clicked cancel, and it started connecting to my wired network.

Just to see what would happen, I manually (using rpm) removed the new NetworkManager, NetworkManager-glib, and NetworkManager-gnome packages, then manually reinstalled them using rpm files that I downloaded from a Fedora mirror, and now the problem seems to have gone away. Strange.
Testing and working with NM 0.7.0-0.11.svn4022.3.fc8, kernel 2.6.26.5-28.fc8, with an ipw2200 against a WPA/WPA2 AP.
