[SOLVED] Problems with network manager connecting to wireless

http://ubuntuforums.org – Hello all, I've tried looking through some of the problems with wireless networking and I can't quite find one that resolves my issue. Here's the deal. The install of Ubuntu 11.10 on this laptop is about a week old, and wireless was working with the proprietary Broadcom STA wireless drivers. I'm not sure if it was due to an update or what, but I shut my laptop down, and today I can't connect to a wireless network. The network manager shows the wireless interface, and it shows the access point. However, when I click on it, nothing happens. This is my device from lspci: Code: 0 (Hardware)

Hi, I just moved to Fedora 11 but can't figure out how to get my wireless working. I have the broadcom driver installed and the Network Manager Applet shows the available wireless networks, but when I click on them they just don't connect. Any ideas??

I get the following output on lspci regarding the wireless adapter:

I've been struggling to connect to my home wireless network, but up until now my Broadcom card has been able to at least detect the network. I know this because in Network manager, in the Add Network Connection dialog box, if I tell it to scan for wireless networks then I see my home network along with all the other local wireless networks.
