Sadly, that is not true - or was not, when I tried NM quite extensively a couple of months ago. It is possible it is working now, as there is very active development of NM (I subscribe to the NM mailing list) and patches seem to be added literally daily. My suspicion is that NM tried to change the mode of my Orinoco Gold card in some way that disabled the card until I re-booted. But what exactly do you mean by "the same settings as a base"? I might say that I asked the following question on the NM mailing list last week, but haven't had any response. If anyone here can answer my query I should be very grateful. ------------------------------------ Is anyone successfully running NetworkManager with an Orinoco Gold or Silver Classic PCMCIA card, particularly such a card in a PCI or USB adaptor? I tried a while ago, and lost all WiFi connection. However, it is more than likely the fault was on my side, and I'd like to try again if someone has it working. ------------------------------------ -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
