Hey Andy, I took your suggestion and stopped my network-manager daemon and manually set up my wireless connection with wpa_supplicant and dhclient. Amazingly the connection was rock-solid all day! Now I have to figure out what network manager is doing that messes up the connection :S Thank you so much! nick _______________________________________________ mlug mailing list [email protected] https://listes.koumbit.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mlug-listserv.mlug.ca
