Description of problem: After the latest push on F13-updates-testing, I cannot connect to wireless anymore. NetworkManager tries to login, but seems to fail. Booting the previous kernel failed, too, as did downgrading all NetworkManager packages. So I really have no idea what the problem is. Machine is a Samsung NC10 with ath5k wireless. Connecting to wired LAN still works. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel 2.6.33.3-72.fc13.i686 (or 2.6.33.2) NetworkManager.i686 1:0.8.0-7.git20100422.fc13 @fedora NetworkManager-glib.i686 1:0.8.0-7.git20100422.fc13 @fedora NetworkManager-gnome.i686 1:0.8.0-7.git20100422.fc13 @fedora NetworkManager-openconnect.i686 0.8.0-1.git20100411.fc13 @updates-testing NetworkManager-openvpn.i686 1:0.8-2.git20100411.fc13 @updates-testing NetworkManager-pptp.i686 1:0.8.0-1.git20100411.fc13 @updates-testing NetworkManager-vpnc.i686 1:0.8.0-1.git20100411.fc13 @updates-testing (NM 1:0.8.0-8 also failed). How reproducible: Try to login to a wireless network. Give password if asked.
Same here on a Sony Vaio VGN-Z51XG. Establishing a connection to a 3G-network is also not possible.

Btw: Possible duplicate #588814
Bug #588814 is right in that downgrading NetworkManager DOES in fact solve the problem. I just had to reboot for it to be effective.
