I see in your daemon.log the following Jan 31 10:11:39 edgaribm NetworkManager[2369]: <warn> Activation (wlan0/wireless): association took too long, failing activation. Jan 31 10:11:39 edgaribm NetworkManager[2369]: <info> (wlan0): device state change: config -> failed (reason 'supplicant-timeout') [50 120 11] It appears that wpa_supplicant isn't installed or configured properly. You need to install D-Bus interface for it to work properly. Check if the following files exist on your system: /usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/fi.epitest.hostap.WPASupplicant.service /usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/fi.w1.wpa_supplicant1.service > Another question: neither my wife not I are allowed to edit the network > connections: my wife gets an " insufficient privileges" and I get a grayed out > OK in the settings mask. How can we change this ? > This looks like permission issue. Again, check all consolekit stuff that I pointed to in previous mails. Also, make sure that you have installed Polkit-kde-agent for KDE or polkit-gnome for GNOME. If everything else fails, you can examine /var/log/auth.log > Thanks again for your help ! > Edgar > > > -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
