Finally, I have my wireless stuff that works. But it works, only if I run knetworkmanager. If I stop it, it doesn't work. The led that shows that the wifi function is running doesn't work, but I don't care. The pb I have is that knetworkmanager doesn't take care of the IP address I wrote in the ifcfg-wlan0 file. It takes an IP from my dhcp router, but my laptop has a fixed ip, It is configurated that way, it is not supposed to take an IP from my dhcp router. Another pb, is that I'm disconnected from the network after 8 or 10 minutes. I have to stop my connection from the icon on my desktop and to connect again to the wireless network. Something is broken somewhere. I didn't have such problems before running my old laptop and F7. The pb I reported about NFS not working was because of that. My system is configurated with fixed IP, but now, that knetworkmanager still wants not to take care of what is configurated, and take another ip address. Francois
