​X and WiFi worked out of the box and were running great till

​it is update to SL 7.1 with yum update.

​X does not work with new kernel, when booting up I have 3 choices of the grub menu:

​If I choose 1) I get the GDM login screen, it allows me to type in a username and password, but X does not fully load, it only loads a black screen with a mouse cursor then freeze​, I can't even get to tty2.

If I choose 2) then at least I get a usable desktop. So I am running the older kernel now and connect to the net through the wire, as WiFI no longer works neither:

I use the GNOME WiFi applet to connect, it scans the surrounding SSID but nothing happens when I actually click on the SSID that I want to connect to, doesn't prompt for a password or anything.​

This is what appears in /var/log/messages when I click on any SSID in the WiFI applet:

Help! Should I try downgrade NetworkManager or something?

Cheers!
