Fedora 23 Server [chris@f23s ~]$ rpm -qa | grep NetworkManager NetworkManager-1.0.12-2.fc23.x86_64 NetworkManager-libnm-1.0.12-2.fc23.x86_64 Fedora 24 Workstation [chris@f24m Downloads]$ rpm -qa | grep NetworkManager NetworkManager-wifi-1.2.2-2.fc24.x86_64 NetworkManager-pptp-1.2.2-1.fc24.x86_64 NetworkManager-openvpn-gnome-1.2.2-1.fc24.x86_64 NetworkManager-1.2.2-2.fc24.x86_64 NetworkManager-bluetooth-1.2.2-2.fc24.x86_64 NetworkManager-pptp-gnome-1.2.2-1.fc24.x86_64 NetworkManager-adsl-1.2.2-2.fc24.x86_64 NetworkManager-openvpn-1.2.2-1.fc24.x86_64 NetworkManager-wwan-1.2.2-2.fc24.x86_64 NetworkManager-libnm-1.2.2-2.fc24.x86_64 NetworkManager-vpnc-gnome-1.2.2-1.fc24.x86_64 NetworkManager-vpnc-1.2.2-1.fc24.x86_64 NetworkManager-config-connectivity-fedora-1.2.2-2.fc24.x86_64 NetworkManager-team-1.2.2-2.fc24.x86_64 NetworkManager-openconnect-1.2.2-1.fc24.x86_64 NetworkManager-glib-1.2.2-2.fc24.x86_64 OK! So I'm gonna guess it wants at least NetworkManager-wifi...
