NetworkManager itself works fine! It's just that I've been able to reliably crash it via calling a function over dbus. http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=459323 If I query NM via dbus for info on a wireless network, NM dies. It can be reproduced easily via dbus-send: dbus-send --system --print-reply --type=method_call \ --dest=org.freedesktop.NetworkManager \ /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/Devices/eth1/Networks/<SSID> \ org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.Devices.getAddress Substitute the SSID for the SSID you want to query. > > The library code I believe was all committed to CVS.

I'd definitely be interested - NetworkManager support is the only real thing that keeps me tied to Gnome on my laptop! I'm not much of a GUI developer, but I'll try to dig up the sample client I was working on tonight. -- Ross Vandegrift [EMAIL PROTECTED] "The good Christian should beware of mathematicians, and all those who make empty prophecies.
