Either use wpa_supplicant from atrpms repo and don't use
NetworkManager, use iwconfig instead: please search in atrpms
bugzilla; or uninstall atrpms' version, use core version instead,
together with NM.

Running NetworkManager in the foreground will greatly help.. The
console output is quite clean and easy to understand.. I was just
biten so I found that.
