Atrpms, freshrpms has the ones you'll need. second, do you have a keyboard key-combo to activate the wireless? do a su - iwlist scan will show any AP's availible to you iwconfig will show if you are associated with any access point since kwifimanager shows a connection i'll assume that your rfswitch is correct. try a ping -c4 your routerip address if you use gnome, type in NetworkManagerInfo you'll then get a sweeping radar searching for a ap. see http://www.fedoranews.org/contributors/jim_lawrence/network_manager/ about NM see bugzilla to search http://www.bughost.org/bugzilla/query.cgi -- Jim Lawrence Registered Linux User: #376813 ******************************************************** When I'm feeling down, I like to whistle.
