Don't run wpa_supplicant. Instead, run NetworkManagerDispatcher and NetworkManager from the NetworkManager RPM. Each runs as a service. You can find them in core. You might also want the NetworkManager-gnome if you want it to run in your task bar. > I am not very familiar with encrypted wireless. Is there a good Howto? > Any guidance will greatly appreciated. Thanks. Its not that much different than un-encrypted wireless. It requires more iwconfig commands to be entered in order to work. Are you familiar with the iwconfig command? It can show you the current state of your wireless chip as the system sees it. And if you are still having problems, look at your /var/log/messages file for messages about your hardware. > John -- Kevin J.
