Reinstalling NetworkManager was the first thing I tried. I've done two cold reinstalls with the same results. The Puppy Linux is a live CD. By now, there are no remaining traces on the Puppy Linux. I'm going to remove the Dlink card and have a look at it. Once in a blue moon, even reseating a card makes a difference. I don't believe it's a Fedora problem because on both the reinstalls the Wireless-G USB dongle works just fine. To me, it's just gotta be a hardware problem. I expect to fix it today. Will keep you updated.
