It seems that my default the wpa supplicant is configured for a ssid id of “any”, which is probably why we had to have broadcasting enabled. Okay so use your favorite editor and configure wpa supplicant as such: ************************* ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant ctrl_interface_group=wheel network={ ssid=”MYNetwork” proto=WPA key_mgmt=WPA-PSK pairwise=TKIP group=TKIP } **************************** Set the ssid to the ssid of your network and configure your key management to TKIP, or AES. pairwise, and group should be of the same type. .. Either TKIP or AES Save the file, then go back to network manager and try to connect to your AP! I got wpa-psk to work without turning on ssid broadcasting on my router.

I had wireless working in FC6, but after upgrading to 7 was unable to get it going. Your “step 3″ turned out to be the answer. Thank you!
