I asked about wireless support in this list a couple of days ago and people pointed me at NetworkManager. It was not running on my system, perhaps because my system was installed with FC3 and then upgraded to FC4 and FC5, so new services were not activated as they would be in a fresh install. My experience is mixed. For the wired and non-encrypted wireless, it seems to be fine. HOwever, for the networks that require a WEP key, I can't log in with it. When I try with NM, it asks me for a WEP passphrase and it asks if I am in an "open network" or "shared network". I don't know what those mean, but I've tried all combinations and it does not log in. On the other hand, with the key saved in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts, the home network does come up, either from the command line: /sbin/ifup home or inside system-config-network. Can NetworkManager be made to read the WEP key as it is already set by system-config-network? pj -- Paul E. Johnson Professor, Political Science 1541 Lilac Lane, Room 504 University of Kansas
