Trying to enable wireless via nmcli is just about the same: no effect and no error messages, neither to terminal nor to /var/log/messages. Had this problem right after installing milestone 6, now updated to RC1, the problem stays. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Login and wait till nm-applet is there 2. Click on the icon "network settings", then toggle the checkbox "enable wireless" 3. Try to use networkmanager's console tools Actual Results: Nothing Expected Results: wireless networking enabled or, if impossible, some error message shown
