Description JokeDude 2011-03-02 13:57:35 UTC
I am running Fedora 14 and just upgraded NetworkManager to 1.0.8.3.996 (AS per the yum history below:

history info


After the update, when I tried to edit the wireless network settings, I
got an error message saying: 

"Error initializing editor
802-11-wireless-security"

And on clicking the OK button the editor box disappears. I eventually
logged in as root to try edit the settings, had the same issue. I then
deleted the wireless networks and tried to manually create a new one.
The creation worked fine, but now I cannot edit any of the settings.
Auto discovery of wireless networks and the rest of the system seems fine, after having deleted all wireless networks, but I still can't edit anything.

All the other tabs (wired, DSL etc.) seem to be okay.
