If so, what is the fix?
Best thing to do is to file a bug in Red Hat bugzilla and then we can diagnose this issue further. If you could put some more details into the bug report, like: 1) What kernel version, what wireless card, and what driver the card is using 2) Attach a /var/log/messages that shows a NetworkManager connection attempt to the bug report #2 is important; without that it's hard to figure out where things are going wrong.
