This might be a Feisty specific bug, NetworkManager will always use WEXT and not the device specific driver however a number of distributions patched NetworkManager to use the device specific driver for some cards. Two drivers that many Distro's patched for were NDISwrapper and Madwifi. I know that Ubuntu used to ship these patches but I don't know if they still do, can you grab the Ubuntu source (apt-get source network-manager) and look in the debian/patches directory and see if one of the patches sends -Dndiswrapper instead of -Dwext? _______________________________________________ NetworkManager-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
