problem with NetworkManager

Wireless was working fine on F10 but when I updated to F11-Beta and then
did a yum update which pretty much updated everything, my wired network
is OK but wireless is not. I can't point the finger at NetworkManager on
F11 because I am not all that familiar with how it's supposed to work
because it just worked on F10 and before that, my previous laptop
pre-dated NM.

For some reason that I don't understand, the KDE Networking Widget in
the status tray has 'Enable Wireless' dimmed ('Enable Networking' is of
course checked).

I cannot connect to my wireless LAN at all.

Any suggestions?

I did some editing to ifcfg-wlan0 because for some reason, NM_CONTROLLED
and USERCTL were set to no after the update.

# cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-wlan0
# Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express
Adapter

HWADDR=00:23:4e:7e:61:bf
BOOTPROTO=dhcp

ONBOOT=no
USERCTL=yes

IPV6INIT=no
NM_CONTROLLED=yes
