Problems with NM initial setup on FC6

["Jonathan Nichols" <jnichols alumni princeton edu>]

Hello,

    I am trying to set up Network Manager for the first time.  Here is a sequence of events I have gone through:

1)  Enabled Network Manager by starting the service in /etc/init.d
2)  Clicked on the icon to see a list of SSIDs
3)  Clicked on the desired SSID
4)  Entered the WPA key
5)  The icon went through its thinking phase, and then it gave me the red circle with the line through it
6)  I thought that there might be a collision between the eth1 device set up with the Network Configuration Manager so i delete the eth1 entry in the devices list (but did not delete it in the hardware tab)
7)  I clicked on the Network Manager icon again, entered the WPA key.
8)  I was prompted for a key ring manager password.  I entered a password
9)  Network Manager told me that was successfully connected to the desired SSID
10)  However, I couldn't access any websites
11)  I rebooted my computer
12)  I restarted the Network Manager service
13)  I tried to access the desired SSID
14)  I am never able to connect.  I just get the red circle with the line through it.  Here is my /var/log/messages log:

I'm thinking that the "no such device" is the key here but I haven't made any more progress.  I tried adding a device to the network configuration device manager but that hasn't worked.

Any ideas?
