I did this.. I'm running FC3 with all the current updates (as of yesterday). I ran this test and yes, it changes to FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF very often during the link check. lspci -v reports: 02:02.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Commnuications, Inc. AR5212 802.11abg NIC (rev 01) Subsystem: Unknown device 17ab:8331 Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 168, IRQ 11 Memory at c0210000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K] Capabilities: [44] Power Management version 2 I also see the following information in /var/log/messages: NetworkManager: Warning: the wireless card (ath0) requires too much time for scans. Its driver needs to be fixed. When I try to connect from NetworkManagerInfo I get a warning message: The request wireless network 'my-network' does not appear to be in range. A different wireless network will be used if any are available. However, if I shut down NetworkManager, set the ssid by hand, and ifup the interface, it works just fine with "my-network". FWIW, I'm using Madwifi-0.9.4.12, if that matters. Any suggestions? Workarounds? Things I can do to help debug? -derek -- Derek Atkins, SB '93 MIT EE, SM '95 MIT Media Laboratory Member, MIT Student Information Processing Board (SIPB) URL: http://web.mit.edu/warlord/ PP-ASEL-IA N1NWH [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP key available _______________________________________________ NetworkManager-list mailing list NetworkManager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
