What is your dhcp settings for the wifi? Same as lan? Also check route settings- is the gateway correct for wifi? I had to set my dhclient to supersede gateway so that I had wan access on both lan and wlan.

Hope that helps- maybe. Any further info (inc. vague topology) and or config might help to work out your sit.

I had the same problem once.
I guess I corrected it by adding the correct DNS servers (from my isp)

I hope it works

I've had similar experiences.
I know wifi edits various files without telling you,
eg /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-<interface> .
That could explain your experience.

I think NetworkManager also stores information in a similar way,
though in a different location.

WiFi under Fedora is really very badly organized.
