This is already more information than he gave. I have not experienced this particular issue, nor can I read minds. Also, if Network manager is defective, you can still bypass it and connect manually.

Wireless devices can be labled as ethX and still work as wireless interfaces. I have a machine here running karmic that does exactly that. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkrAi6kACgkQwRXgH3rKGfORjQCgqq83SPl0cJdy3GBKaUKGRY9m sisAn1iCXs0L1aVO7E9eL2ZNDhhXKCCt =jafi -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ 64studio-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.64studio.com/mailman/listinfo/64studio-users
