I have been told by a couple people in Fedora forum it appears to be a
nm error but it doesn't sound like anyone knows how to fix it can any
of you tell me how to fix this please.
Thank you

you this from the disconnected wired connection.

Hi all,
I got a new laptop it has been a pain in the @#$ I had to load f9 then
upgrade to f10 x86_64 because of a cpuspeed error line 112 now
everything is working except wireless it was until I rebooted after
update. It will not show up in NM.
