If you have a wired connection that will be detected and the connection made without your having to do anything. Any WEP, WPA, etc networks that are available will appear with their SSID under the nm-applet and clicking on one of them will allow you to put in any security information that is needed and the connection will be made. That information will be remembered for future connections. I have not had access to any VPN Connections so I am not sure how this works.. But you certainly don't have to add any of these connections manually. -- ======================================================================= How much does it cost to entice a dope-smoking UNIX system guru to Dayton? -- Brian Boyle, UNIX/WORLD's First Annual Salary Survey ======================================================================= Aaron Konstam telephone: (210) 656-0355 e-mail: akonstam@xxxxxxxxxxxxx -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
