One more thing when you get to wifi with networkmanager: it doesn't play well with dhcpd, the slackware default. edit /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/00-dhcp-client.conf to use dhclient: [main] # Choose a DHCP client below. Upstream recommends dhclient, but results may vary. # dhcpcd is the DHCP client usually used by Slackware: #dhcp=dhcpcd # dhclient is the ISC reference DHCP client, part of the dhcp package: dhcp=dhclient # This is a simple DHCP client that is built into NetworkManager: #dhcp=internal other wise you'll get into a connect-disconnent loop. Since networkmanager wants to control all network interfaces, edit /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf to clear out USE_DHCP[0]="" This is not absolutely necessary but make its easier to toggle between wired and wireless without networkmanger freaking out. ...and I'm procrastinating again. Have Fun! Ed
