I've just experienced this. It seems to be related to
<
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=543871> but that is marked
as closed having been fixed for Fedora 13.
To compound the problem, when I enable the network using nm,
gpk-update-viewer still reports "All software is up to date" without
bothering to use the now-available network connection.
I've got several other grumbles that I've mentioned in
<
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=543871#c7>
Note Hugh's date (June); it's mid December, and I'm still getting
the same thing.

I have precious (very precious!) little idea where up is.
