This may not be related to wireless failure at all but rather failure of X to startup, possibly due to the kernel line nomodeset, used to fix this bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=691609 messages includes: Mar 29 04:33:43 localhost gdm-binary[1105]: WARNING: GdmLocalDisplayFactory: maximum number of X display failures reached: check X server log for errors Attaching Xorg.0.log

Probably a duplicate of bug 493754.
(In reply to comment #5) > Probably a duplicate of bug 493754. Unfortunately agree. I wonder whether bug 650949 is not part of the story as well. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 493754 ***
