Hi folks, recently migrated from BSD.
I've just finished installing F15 on my venerable Inspiron 600m (LXDE spin). Currently networking is working correctly if I use a hard line, but I cannot get my wireless to connect.
Chipset is Intel PRO/Wireless 2100. Firmware package is installed, according to yum.
When I try to connect using the gui, the little circle icon spins for a while and then it asks for my WPA passphrase. When I enter it it seems to consider connecting for a while and then just asks for my password again. This happens forever and so far I have not been able to connect wirelessly.
Please help!

Wow... feel like a moron.
Rebooting fixed it. Looks like the NW session was timing out and wouldn't clear its status until I did a power cycle.
Didn't even think to try rebooting since this isn't windows, lol.
