Sorry f8:
[root eagle ~]# cat /etc/system-release 
Fedora release 8 (Werewolf)
[root eagle ~]# rpm -q NetworkManager
NetworkManager-0.7.0-0.6.7.svn3370.fc8
NetworkManager-0.7.0-0.6.7.svn3370.fc8


It is a bit verbose so I attached the console listing

/var/log/messages is even more verbose but I have it if you want to look at 
it.
