Hi, this afternoon, Mark Davenport upgraded to latest nwam-129 build. 1. the system was originally (before nwam installation) configured as NIS client on wired interface. 2. having enabled nwam, the system was correctly configured as NIS client on wired interface using Automatic profile and Location User (location 'User' being set as the default location by NWAM)
3. on unplugging the wired interface, Mark could not get firefox to launch even though the system had correctly received an IP address for the wireless interface. We found that as the location was still set to User (Automatic profile), nis client was still enabled. On switching to choose location automatically, the location was changed to automatic. Mark was then able to launch firefox. Question, with only wireless connected, should nwam default to choosing locations automatically ?. Thanks Bob
