Could you open a terminal, sudo/su to root, stop NetworkManager, and
then run "/usr/bin/NetworkManager --no-daemon"?  Then try to connect to
a wireless network.  Grab the output from the terminal and attach that
file to a bug report against NetworkManager at either
bugzilla.redhat.com or bugzilla.gnome.org.

Thanks!
