We need wpa_supplicant logs (/var/log/wpa_supplicant.log). To increase log verbosity, please run commnads in section "Debugging wpa_supplicant 0.7 and later" at http://live.gnome.org/NetworkManager/Debugging

This looks like a driver problem. What WiFi device and driver do you use? You can find devices using 'lspci' or 'lsusb' and the driver is reported e.g. in nm-tool output. You could try to connect to the hotspot with a USB WiFi dongle to see if the driver is indeed the failing part. Do you see any errors in 'dmesg' output? (like wlan0: direct probe to ef8bf5e8 timed out) I've found a similar issue with Atheros in this thread: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.drivers.ath9k.devel/5353
Device: lspci 03:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01) Driver: nm-tool - Device: wlan0 ---------------------------------------------------------------- Type: 802.11 WiFi Driver: ath9k State: disconnected Default: no HW Address: 1C:4B:D6:5B:5E:CB Capabilities: Wireless Properties WEP Encryption: yes WPA Encryption: yes WPA2 Encryption: yes Wireless Access Points
After reading the Atheros thread you mentioned, I should comment that this problem I have does not matter on the encryption. I've tried wpa, wep and stepped back to unencrypted to see if any of it worked and none did.
I tested with a usb-wireless and got another failure to connect to the wifi. Attaching wpa_supplicant log from this attempt.

This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
