Out of the blue, NetworkManager will not start when i boot up anymore. I have to su to root, the run NetworkManagerInfo in the terminal. Before it was simple as loggong into my account, and the sonar would wave a few secs, and I would be connected. So, I started the process as root, logged out and checked the save current setup. I'm able to connect as of now, but no graphical representation to speak of. With out doing a ifconfig or a iwconfig in the terminal, I don't know which network i'm connected to now. Q. Why do I have to run the process as root now? Q. How do i fix this so it launches without user interaction & shows in the notification area? System FC3 2.6.10-1.766_FC3 NetworkManager-0.3.3-1.cvs20050119.2.fc3 ipw2200 intel wireless Thanks all for your kind help. -- Jim Lawrence Registered Linux User: #376813 ******************************************************** When I'm feeling down, I like to whistle.
