wireless problems under F11

[Paolo Galtieri]

I'm not running Network Manager.  I had various issues with NM so I disabled
it.  As I said nothing has changed in my configuration from when it worked
to it now failing except for installing F11 updates.  Also wireless works at
home with my config, but doesn't work anywhere else.
