Well, depends really. I don't expect nm-applet to have a "re-scan" option, although it may be useful sometimes even for non-RS232 modems, when wanting to restart checking support after a probe fail. In general, an application which expects the RS232 connection to be setup, could trigger the re-scans when the modem has not been detected. -- Aleksander _______________________________________________ networkmanager-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
