Thanks very much, I'll try that. Though I am reasonably sure - having followed your suggestion to use nm-tools - that the occasional problem with my Orinoco Gold PCMCIA card is something to do with the orinoco_cs driver rather than NM. Still, it will help to find as soon as possible whether or not a WiFi connection is going to be set up. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College Dublin _______________________________________________ NetworkManager-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
