Whacky suggestion, but ISTR that on one occasion I had to actually remove a 
network connection (which I did via system-config-network, I think) then 
re-add it, before I could activate it.  It couldn't do much harm to try it, 
anyway.  I don't like black-magic solutions, but I assume that something had 
become lost/damaged/still referring to the old connection, and this was the 
only way to get rid of it.
