I still did not find out properly what the Dispatcher is for. 3) the 1st time you install a remote nework, you have to indicate the WEP-Key, -Passphrase or WPA if you use it. It then recommends a password for the Keyring. This password you entered for keyring is what you have to type in to connect to your remote network. With this, NM will load the correct Keys for your network. HTH Roger
