NM stops and doesn't connect

["Cliff McDiarmid" <cliffhanger gardener com>]

Hi

The last mail ended up blank trying this one:

Can anyone advise on this error from NM after the supplicant is up with:

Trying to associate with ************* (SSID='Thomson7F8759' freq=2412 MHz)
Associated with *************
WPA: Key negotiation completed with ************ [PTK=CCMP GTK=TKIP]
CTRL-EVENT-CONNECTED - Connection to ************ completed (auth) [id=0 id_str=]
CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-RESULTS 
CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-RESULTS

ETC ETC ETC

If I use this check 

nm-system-settings --debug --config /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf

I get:.

** Message: Loaded plugin keyfile: (c) 2007 - 2008 Red Hat, Inc.  To report bugs please use the NetworkManager mailing list

the system then stops and I have to ctrl-c to bring the prompt back

What's going on?  Google mentions this error but no solution.

thanks

MAC
