No Wi-Fi device found

I just reinstalled one of my machines with Fedora 21. The install went great, but when the machine was done rebooting, and I was trying to set up my access to a wireless network with nmcli (NetworkManager), I got the following error-message:

# nmcli dev
DEVICE   TYPE      STATE        CONNECTION 
enp0s25  ethernet  unavailable  --         
lo       loopback  unmanaged    --         
wlo1     wifi      unmanaged    --

..and:

# nmcli dev wifi rescan
Error: No Wi-Fi device found.

Spending a lot of time finding what the problem was, I finally found the solution.  It seems that Wi-Fi support in NetworkManager has been separated to a plugin. The package NetworkManager-wifi was missing. So install it, reboot your machine and give it a whirl again. It should (hopefully) be working.
