Stop the network initscript 2. Start initscripts for NetworkManager and NetworkManagerDispatcher. When your machine boots the nm-applet icon should appear the upper right corner of the top panel. If not run nm-applet. Then left clicking on the icon will allow you to see the wifi access points and choose the one to connect to (and configure it). -- Aaron Konstam tel: (210) 656-0355 akonstam@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
