I have the same problem on vanilla FC10. NetworkManager-gnome doesn't dynamically acquire IP addresses from the router via DHCP, and the connection only works if I set a static IP. But then I get speeds only up to 20KB/s (pretty much the same as bug #451422 ). The network keys (I use WPA) are changed (as mentioned in this report before). The real key is made of 8 letters, but they are changed to a hash of some sort that has 64 symbols. Using seahorse makes no difference, as when changed, the NetworkManager asks me about the key again, and changes it to the hash again. But seeing that I can still use the Internet (with a static IP and 20 KB/s), maybe that's intended? I've also tried switching to KNetworkManager (actually, now both Gnome and K managers are installed, and they work as one :) ), and it's the same. Finally I've attempted to make the connection manageable by the system-config-network instead of NetworkManager, but it seems it doesn't support WPA keys at all. Then I tried WPA Supplicant, but it needs DHCPD, and initially DHCPD is empty; I have no idea how to configure it manually. All my attempts here failed. lspci shows my network devices: 00:1f.6 Modem: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Modem Controller (rev 03) 02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.
