I know wifi edits various files without telling you, eg /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-<interface> . That could explain your experience. I think NetworkManager also stores information in a similar way, though in a different location. WiFi under Fedora is really very badly organized. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
