In my experience, NM just adds another layer of obfuscation to an already confusing (and confused) setup. I found after a lot of experiment (and requests on the NM mailing list) that NM just did not work with my WiFi card, a standard (if old) Orinoco Gold PCMCIA card. Basically, it tried to turn the card to a mode it did not support. The support for WiFi under Fedora is unbelievably bad. There are files all over the place that might or might not have some relevance. > Most of the settings you care about can be manipulated in > system-config-network.

In my experience - admittedly not for some time - system-config-network is liable to make a bad situation even worse. > If you use NetworkManager, profiles of wireless networks you have visited > are kept in the .gconf subdir and keys are kept in your GNOME keyring. Are you saying that you have to use GNOME in order to use NM? Wouldn't surprise me. -- 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
