I'm OK with either way. The problem I can see is if remove the checkbox from 'Connect to Wireless Network' dialog, what is the default behavior on connecting a wlan? Add to known wlans or not? -- Configure bugmail: http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.
