In brief, I have two WiFi LANs in my house; and this seems to confuse NM. If I try to change from one to the other NM loses all knowledge of both, and I have to re-boot to get any connection. Actually, I have found that taking out my PCMCIA WiFi card and re-inserting it seems to do almost as well as re-booting. [There used to be a "service pcmcia" under Fedora, but that seems to have disappeared.] With my present understanding of NM, I would give it beta minus, while I would give the standard system-config-network delta, as I cannot understand what it is trying to do (eg with profiles), and it definitely does not seem to be doing anything sensible. -- 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
