Yes, that is what I assume; it is accessed through interface eth0 on my laptop. So according to the theory that ethernet gets priority, all packets should have gone through eth0. But that is not what I found; ifconfig showed that many packages had gone through each interface, rather more through wlan0. >> I also have a very cheap chinese WiFi-Repeater >> which sends out a strong signal as seen by "iwlist scan", >> but is not seen by NM under Fedora, as far as I can see. > > What you see in the scan, should be also accessible in NM. Yes, thanks. I see now that after right-clicking on the WiFi icon, and going to "Network Management Settings", when I click on "Add" and then "Scan", the WiFi-Repeater is shown on the "map", and when I click on this, a new Network connection "WiFi-Repeater1" is set up, with the information that this has never been used. Bizarrely, after doing this the WiFi repeater seems to have disappeared, both from "iwlist scan" and the NM scanner. _______________________________________________ networkmanager-list mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
