NetworkManager is not the problem.  The updates installed a new kernel -
2.6.23.14-107.fc8.  The new kernel doesn't have a driver for wlan0.  You don't
mention what you wlan device is (router is irrelevant).  One guess
might be that you are using ndiswrapper, because it is a Broadcom or
other proprietary device.  Ndiswrapper has not been updated on livna.org
for the new kernel yet.  You can reboot and select your previous kernel
to see if that fixes your problem.  To make the previous kernel permanent
(until livna is updated), edit /etc/grub.conf as root and change the default.
