Yup it was.  I reinstalled last night (the wpa_supplicant couldn't

know what that repo did for him...

I'm opposed to the idea of repositories in general, even though I have
(a hopefully safe) 3rd party one turned on. I think they're a crutch
used to avoid fixing the dependency mess.

Does anyone know where NetworkManger stores it's keys for wireless
connections?

As far as I know, NetworkManager stores its keys in the gnome keyring.
I don't know how to get in there and clear them out, but I have been
successful in getting NetworkManager to prompt me for a password
again. I went into the gconf registry with gconf-editor and deleted
the appropriate keys, and the NM applet prompted me for a network key
the next time I tried to sign on to that network.
