Hi Allen, If you already have configured the network connections using NetworkManager, it should be fairly possible to start the wireless network using 'nmcli'. That's a command line tool for Network Manager. You most likely need to play around with 'nmcli con'. F.ex. I have a wirelss config called 'home'. So to connect from the command line, I do this: [user@host:~] $ nmcli con up id home I'll admit, it's a long time since I played with EL5, so it might not be fully supported. But on EL6 and newer, this is possible. -- kind regards, David Sommerseth
