After locating this report tonight, I updated NetworkManager and wpa_supplicant
from the F8 testing repo. After a re-boot, I am now able to connect to a LinkSys
Router/WAP using WPA2 Personal. I also note the updated NM GUI.

Prior to this, the behavior was similar to other reports, with no successful WPA
connections, though I could connect to open wireless networks without problems.

The current versions of the apps that I have mow are:

NetworkManager-gnome-0.7.0-0.6.7.svn3370.fc8
NetworkManager-openvpn-0.7.0-8.svn3302.fc8
NetworkManager-glib-0.7.0-0.6.7.svn3370.fc8
NetworkManager-0.7.0-0.6.7.svn3370.fc8
NetworkManager-vpnc-0.7.0-0.6.3.svn3109.fc8

wpa_supplicant-0.5.10-4.fc8

My wifi card is in a Dell Inspiron 5150 laptop with a P4 CPU:

02:02.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4309 802.11a/b/g (rev 02)

and I use the b43legacy driver via b43-fwcutter.

My kernel is the latest for F8 stable: 2.6.24.4-64.fc8

Thanks!
