[ OK ] Starting NetworkManager daemon: [FAILED] ** (NetworkManager:3108): WARNING ** NetworkManager is already running (pid 2875) This evidence is not very useful; it only proves that NetworkManager was running already, and therefore that a failure of NetworkManager was not the cause of failure to detect wireless networks at school. I suggest you do this test on each affected XO: sudo iwlist eth0 scan ... and see if the wireless networks at school are shown. If they are not, then either they are not present, the wireless card may be faulty, or the antenna cable may be faulty. -- James Cameron http://quozl.linux.org.au/ ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel

What model of XO? What operating system build? computer model is XO-1 build: 860 To adjust my instructions, you can either: 1. use OpenFirmware, at the ok prompt type ok scan-wifi or 2. stop NetworkManager before the scan: sudo service NetworkManager stop sudo ifconfig eth0 up sudo iwlist eth0 scan I could perform the test and the XO is the school's network but at the hearing ''my neighborhood ''but the network does not appear when I run it in terminal I get the XO network, the wifi light comes on, but sleep -- James Cameron http://quozl.linux.org.au/ -- Abrazoss..

If you mean iwlist or scan-wifi show the correct output, but ''my neighborhood'' does not, then it sounds like a Sugar problem. Check that the ''my neighborhood'' screen does not have a search string set. -- James Cameron http://quozl.linux.org.au/ ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
