Is it mean if we have set one SSID in thethe wpa_supplicant.conf under /etc, then NM will automatically call this SSID when NM starts to run? What is the relationship with the plugin files under the /etc/NetworkManager/system-settings, Thanks Will On Fri, Apr 23, 2010 at 11:03 AM, Dan Williams

With this test you just proved that NetworkManager is totally out of the equation here. This is purely a problem between wpa_supplicant and the driver of your chip. PS: of course you killed NetworkManager while running this test? Le 16/04/2010 14:03, Timothy Murphy a écrit : > I copied .../Exam
