NM or card failing with one network

2007-04-02 Thread Peter Flynn
NM connects happily to all the networks I use...except one: my WiFlyer. This is using my NEC PA-WL/54SC (labelled as Aterm WL54SC WarpStar Triple Wireless LAN Card 54/11 Mbps). If I use my other card, an older Lucent WaveLAN Turbo 11Mb Silver, it connects to the WiFlyer first time. Can anyone

[Edgy, Dell Inspiron 4150; NEC PCMCIA ATERM WL54SC wifi card] I had NM working nicely for all my wireless networks. I then installed Enlightenment (e16) to see what it offered (very nice) and found that I had lost all connections except my default home wifi (which may well be being detected and
