I don't like that NetworkManager applet on my desktop. It's useless and doesn't seem to work. However, for my laptop it works very well, moving between my home and work networks with no issues (and they are different encryption types as well, one is WPA and the other is Dante-enabled WEP). > 2) If I log out as one user I cannot log back in either as the same or > different user.

I'd be curious to see if the hang persists longer than 10 minutes. If yes, then sounds like a hard lockup. Do the Numlock keys stop working? If yes, then one option is the video card/driver could be causing problems. Is your video card hardware accelerated? Are you using a generic driver or did you enable the restricted repos to get the non-free drivers? You mentioned an upgrade after installation. Can you still boot the old kernel? Do the symptoms change? -- Regards... Todd All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.
