I did the recommended things, but I still have a configuration error. If I boot with the wireless on, I get: Jul 13 21:50:16 mbrc35 NetworkManager: nm_device_is_802_3_ethernet: assertion `dev != NULL' failed Jul 13 21:50:16 mbrc35 NetworkManager: nm_device_is_802_11_wireless: assertion `dev != NULL' failed Note that I had changed the device name from the incorrect eth1 to wlan0. This required some hand file editing, because the change did not propagate to all gui places. It appears I am missing a device name somewhere. Time to stop for the evening at -0400. Mike.
