I upgraded my laptop from F13 yesterday on by installing the F14 release packages, running

yum update yum yum-utils rpm kernel python perf --skip-broken

with a whole lot of packages excluded (which seems unusual). I 've updated with this method several times this year always F13->Rawhide and never had dependency problems. I then closed the clamshell without turning the computer off, still on the F13 kernel, but when I got home and reopened it, there was no icon for networkmanager. and hasn't been since. My wireless card is there, dmesg has several lines about it. and while ifconfig reports only the loopback device, iwconfig sees it; managed, not associated, etc. service --status-all shows networkmanager as dead but having a PID. I can start networkmanager but no icon, and nothing in ifconfig. How do I get this going again?

systemctl enable NetworkManager.service should do it.

I'll try that when I get home tonight. Thanks
Are you thinking that systemd hasn't brought it up at that point?

Turns out that airodump happily listens to the neighbourhood routers and that if I type ifconfig wlan0 up
ifconfig could see it, thereafter, and failed to do so after putting it down, again just the loopback. I guess that ifconfig's bugs are unrelated to the situation with networkmanager.

One small problem.

[root@heimdal ~]# systemctl enable NetworkManager.service
Couldn't find NetworkManager.service

I've booted from upstart and the icon is still not there. I tried to set networking up with iwconfig

iwconfig wlan0 ap XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX key xxxxxxxxxx mode managed essid myrouter

which exited with status 0, as did dhclient. But I'm still not associated.

Is this the same as bug 498207 (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=498207)?
I can't find any files in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts pertaining to wlan0, just the eth0 eth* and lo. Kurt
