NetworkManager 5->6 problems



After watching the development of the WPA support in Network Manager I
couldn't wait for FC5.  So after I installed I am running into some
issues using NetworkManager.  

When trying to connect to an open AP it seems that I get a connection.
The applet shows the signal bars as empty (no signal).  When I click on
the applet I see the bar for my AP with full strength.  It also seems to
set lo to 169.XXX.XXX.XXX and gives wlan0 an ip of 169.XXX.XXX.XXX and
doesn't seem to do anything.  I try clicking on my access point from the
list to get it to try and reconnect and I run into the same thing.  If I
shutdown NetworkManager and NetworkManagerDispatcher and I run "neat",
setup my AP and hit activate it connects me immediately.  When running
FC4 this worked without a hitch.

Secondly I trying the WPA support using a WPA-PSK.  I have yet to be
able to get it to associate using NetworkManager.  If I use the
following wpa_supplicant.conf to start wpa_supplicant and disable
NetworkManager I can do a dhclient wlan0 and get completely
associated.  

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=wheel
ap_scan=2
network={
       ssid="myssid"
       proto=WPA
       key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
       pairwise=TKIP
       group=TKIP
       psk="myPSK=Here"
}


My wireless setup is ndiswrapper 1.10 using the bcmwl5 driver.  I would
really like to find out what I am doing wrong.  

Thanks

Joe
