I had a similar problem. I'm on a WEP network which worked fine on 8.2.0,
but we simply can't connect on 8.2.1. The AP is a Billion brand. I can see
the network, and am prompted for the password, but no joy!

I've also booted three times and each time the two freshly imaged 8.2.1
laptops don't see each other. I had previously tried just installing the
kernel rpm associated with ticket #9048, and noticed the same issue, so it
might be a problem with that package, which is a new kernel :)

Cheers,
Pia
