Well I am both encouraged and stuck. NetworkManager was working but without the VPNC, so I upgraded to the versions as per: http://people.redhat.com/davidz/nm-vpnc2/
When upgrading, it complained that I needed dhcdbd, so I got and installed dhcdbd-1.6-1.rpm. When I rebooted, logged in under gnome and ran "/usr/libexec/nm-applet" it looks great. It detects the other networks in the neighborhood and mine. The problem is that it doesn't do dhcp client and setup routing. I have even tried doing a "pull down" from the applet and clicking on the wireless networks to connect. NOTE**** the wired ethernet does not work either. I am totally hosed other than manually setting up the routes and assigned a fixed ip address.. and resolv.conf. I suspect that it was the dhcdbd package that did it but any suggestions are appreciated. If necessary I can reinstall FC4 as I want a set of steps that works cleanly without wondering as I often do with Linux (yes well after 2 days it works but I wonder what I did...?)
