Please keep in mind the G1G1 users. I carry my XO to various places, many of which need WEP keys. It is cumbersome to bring along a written list of these keys, and to enter something anew when I arrive. As long as my existing network configuration file remains untouched, the XO "remembers" those keys for me. One suggestion -- not all APs broadcast their ESSIDs. The user ought to have the option to "label" an entry in the network configuration file, if Network Manager hasn't. And when the user hovers over an AP which is not broadcasting an ESSID, the user ought to be given the option of *selecting* from the network configuration file an entry for the Network Manager to try for that AP. If the user doesn't select, let Network Manager use a temporary entry for that AP -- this will avoid what I am experiencing, where APs in one geographical location (presumably without ESSIDs) are labeled in Neighborhood view with the name of an AP from a completely different geographical location (but which presumably has a similar radio appearance). mikus _______________________________________________ Sugar mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/sugar
