The last FC4 update works reasonably reliably with many wireless drivers.

 	$ rpm -qa NetworkManager\*
 	NetworkManager-glib-0.5.1-1.FC4.4
 	NetworkManager-devel-0.5.1-1.FC4.4
 	NetworkManager-0.5.1-1.FC4.4
 	NetworkManager-vpnc-0.3-1
 	NetworkManager-gnome-0.5.1-1.FC4.4

I use the vpnc connector for my Cisco VPN with no problem.

HTH.
