+I get a curious error message:

+NetworkManager[31268]: <info> (wlan0): bringing up device.

+
+Mmmm, googlin a bit I found this:
+
+http://fossplanet.com/f13/re-wifi-networkmanager-0-8-996-a-113296/
+
+So i short it seems that wpa_supplicant has to be compiled with dbus support for
+new networkmanager. I also see a patch in src.rpm to disable dbus....
