Configuration is done through nm-applet which on FC6 runs automatically

try to use that? I use it on my WEP encrypted access points and it works
fairly well. The latest version also does LEAP authentication.
No nm-applet icon appeared in my panel.
I do have a program /usr/bin/nm-applet
which came with the NetworkManager-gnome.
When I ran nm-applet a space appeared in my panel,
as though something was trying to show itself,
but nothing actually appeared.
I'm running KDE - maybe NM only runs under Gnome?
No.
Did you "chkconfig NetworkManager on" (so it starts at boot) and
"chkconfig netowrk off" (so NM manages the network) and "service network
stop" and "service NetworkManager start"?
nm-applet should start automatically when the NM daemon starts or when you
log in, whichever is later. You should have nm-applet (which should run
in KDE) or the corresponding KDE applet configured to start at login.
I googed for an NM tutorial or FAQ but had no joy.
The faq is at:
http://live.gnome.org/DarrenAlbers/NetworkManagerFAQ
Thanks, I'll have a look at that.
