Funny, It Just Worked in F16, and now in F17 it doesn't. I eventually went under the hood into the config files and found a setting that limited wireless to root - where'd that come from? My fault for messing with a perfectly-good (in hindsight) F16 install, and trusting preupgrade to make something good of the transition since my old yum update way had strong recommendations against it for F17's change to /usr. It looks like a number of KDE Settngs things don't call ksudo or whatever at the right time to get the right permissions, and I suppose that's a result of the other F17 changes. It's making KUbuntu look pretty attractive. ___________________________________________________ This message is from the kde-linux mailing list.
