I didn't even know NM was a daemon/service until you mentioned chkconfig. Never thought about it I guess. Anyway, on a couple of fedora systems that I have looked at, running/stopping NM actually causes the nm_applet to appear/disappear on the panel. >.. >> I believe dja recommended that NetworkManagerDispatcher be running, >> although I get things to work without that service. > > Indeed it may not be needed. I believe NMD is for running pre- and > post-connection scripts associated with NM. Maybe that's where some of the "fussy" stuff has to be done? On a Fedora 9 (alpha), it doesn't seem needed even for wpa-psk security. On my F7 desktop, I'm not using NM and haven't tried. On my laptop running Ubuntu, NMD _is_ running, and there is stuff in /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d as stuff in /etc/network/ none of which I see on fedora (not that it might not be there, perhaps somewhere else, named differently). Man, the start/stop differences between distros is frustrating! Regards, ..jim -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
