NM also doesn't do anything materially different from wicd; NM constructs a configuration for wpa_supplicant and sends it to the supplicant. Which is also what wicd does. NM dumps the configuration it sends to /var/log/messages or /var/log/daemon.log depending on your distro (in your case, likely /var/log/daemon.log) so you can see exactly what NM is telling the supplicant to do. Supplicant debug logs would also be useful, there's more details about that here: http://live.gnome.org/NetworkManager/Debugging Dan _______________________________________________ networkmanager-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
