Where does it say that the NetworkManager needs a downgraded version of wpa_supplicant? The reason that I ask is that I use NetworkManager on my laptop and it's been great.. except for at work where we use Enterprise WPA or whatever it's called. I haven't been able to log in, but a workmate of mine installed a fresh copy of Hardy Heron and it worked the first time. I haven't really had the time/interest to figure out why it wasn't working on my Gentoo laptop. Thanks, -a -- [email protected] mailing list
