Mode = Managed SSID=Auto 9) save & exit 10) /sbin/service NetworkManager start && /sbin/service NetworkManagerDispatcher start - now you will see the applet. 11) right click the applet and add new wireless-network. it will prompt you to choose wep/wpa/whatever. make your selection. it will ask you then for the passphrase (if you chosen wpa-psk). enter it. 12) it will save your passphrase and ask your for a password for your keyring. enter any password you like and remember it :-) - you will need it each time you go online with NetworkManager 13) to start NM at boot-time do 'chkconfig --level 345 NetworkManager on' and 'chkconfig --level 345 NetworkManagerDispatcher on' ...i had to reconstruct of my head, but i think this is all...let me know, if it was helpful for you too. Also, i think you will bring up more time with reading this than with the real work :-D HTH Roger
