This may help others fix a problem with a Dell laptop, Broadcom wifi and NetworkManager. Special thanks to Jirka Klimes for insight and patience.
Here were the symptoms: 1. WiFi worked without NM but not with it. 2. "Enable wireless" was grayed out in the NM applet. The solution is simply to blacklist dell_laptop in /etc/modprobe.d/broadcom-wl-blacklist.conf Exactly why this is necessary with NM but not without will remain one of life's mysteries along with understanding Sarah Palin's appeal and Glenn Beck's ratings (and rantings). -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
