When I tried the normal methods of configuring the wireless interface it would start up, I could scan and see the available access points but it would never establish a connection. I tried it using DHCP as well as hard coding the IP address. I finally tried using the NetworkManager program and amazingly it made the wireless connection work. However I am tracking down a problem at the moment that is looking more and more like NetworkManager is the most like suspect. VPN connections seem to be partially broken when trying to use the wired connection. It works over wireless. There also appears to be a possible bug where modprobe uses 100% cpu when you switch from interface to interface a couple of times using NetworkManager. I suspect I am going to have to revisit getting the wireless working with out NetworkManager. -- Scot L. Harris webid@xxxxxxxxxx nohup rm -fr /&
