Well something did for me - in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-wlan0 
there was a line that I deleted and it worked.

But... my problems all stemmed from using a LiveCD (Security) install and 
adding KDE after, like I had done successfully with F16 and many other 
occasions. This misbehaved in all kinds of permission-related ways, between 
KWallet and wireless and maybe SELinux and maybe the new /usr layout and I-
dunno-what.

So I blew it away and used the F17 DVD and things are working like they 
never did before, save for 2 TrackPoint/Pad issues. 

So thanks for answering Rex, so I can close this topic and warn others off 
a similar fate.
