Newer stuff is now working great on the open wireless network I tried.  
NM scans and finds the network.  I have to manually select it, and it 
DHCPs and works fine from there on.  This is all with the ath5k 
driver.

Unfortunately, WPA/WPA2 Enterprise (e.g. certificate-based, not PSK) 
is still doing absolutely nothing, no dialog box at all, no chance to 
configure it with certs...  How is this supposed to work?

I built madwifi ath_pci driver from Livna for the 214.rc8.git2.fc8 
kernel, and it behaves the same way w.r.t. WPA.  I'll retry the open 
network with that driver later tonight.

But basically, this seems like a regression.  Wireless networks that 
worked before should ideally continue to work with the new NM.
