I'm using NetworkManager here, and the wpa_supplicant service is disabled (via chkconfig). NM handles starting it when needed. I connect to my home network using WPA2 and it's worked wonderfully for a long time. Are you using NM or the older network service (and system-config-network)? -- Todd OpenPGP -> KeyID: 0xBEAF0CE3 | URL: www.pobox.com/~tmz/pgp ====================================================================== A budget is just a method of worrying before you spend money, as well as afterward.
