Is NetworkManager installed and started?
OK, getting closer. It was installed but not started. NetworkManagerDispatcher wasn't started either.
The first time I booted after "chkconfig NetworkManager on", the machine locked up immediatley after starting NetworkManager.
I rebooted single user, turned it off again, let the boot continue, then started it by hand with "service NetworkManager start". It came up fine, and now I can boot with it chkconfig'd on. I'm not sure what was up, there.
It finds the networks and will prompt me for a key (oddity: the dialog always comes up at the bottom of the window stack, so the first two or three times I didn't even notice I was being prompted because it was hidden by my terminal window). However, it does not succeed in establishing a connection. I've attached a snippet of /var/log/messages from immediately after an attempt to connect; the significant bit seems to be this:

Is wpa_supplicant installed?
It is, and I tried enabling it as well, but it spews a bunch of errors at boot time and exits. It's apparent I need to edit /etc/sysconfig/wpa_supplicant, but if I'm *not* using ndiswrapper I don't know what to use in the DRIVERS= assignment. So that's chkconfig'd off again.
