Now I am getting totally frustrated! I "had" to install Networkmanager 0.7, because I also use an E220 to connect to the Internet. This morning an "update" arrived via Ubuntu updates. First smile after rebooting was: GREAT it connects now automatically to the network again! But I was / am very frustrated, because I have now to disconnect in order to open an application. While I am connected ANY (did I mention ANY) application, including terminal, ... will just show "starting up ..." and die silently. I have now to disconnect, open all applications I might need now and can then connect again (no password question, it knows my password ;-) ) and can continue to work. Not the way I like to work forever, .... hopefully somebody finds the bug soon and gives me the solution how to install it, because, if I am connected, I cannot open the update, and if I am not connected, I cannot download the update, .... bye Ronald >> If I hit twice Cancel I get the icon of the Network manager in the top >> bar with the information box, that I am not connected. >> Left mouse button shows me my wireless connection as found, but not >> connected. >> Selecting it requires me to key in the key and connect. >> >> HOW can I avoid that? >> There seems to be a lost of "communication" between the network >> manager and my passwords, since Seahorse does know all my wireless >> keys. >> >> How can I see which "driver" my system is using?
