If you're having problems with your wireless interface --
from my experience, NetworkManager works best if you set you access
point to broadcast the SSID and use Shared Key authentication.  Also
make sure NetworkManagerInfo is in your gnome session.

There still appears to be an issue with the WEP key pop-up reappearing;
I sent a works-for-me patch to the networkmanager-list which I hope will
get in.

Check http://people.redhat.com/dcbw/NetworkManager for more information
on how NM works and what its advantages are.
