Does anyone have any tips > how I can troubleshoot this further? Make sure your card supports scanning (use iwlist - if it won't scan properly you'll get an error). More information on your wireless card would also be helpful. Are you using something that is natively supported or ndiswrapper? There is also a list devoted to NetworkManager that you might find helpful. -- Bests, Jon
