If I shutdown running Firefox (I assume it would be the same with any other browser) then when I boot Fedora re-starts Firefox before NM has connected me to my wireless access point. So Firefox has to start in offline mode. I wish there was at least an option to start NM before login, if it can see the last AP it connected to. In my case, and I suspect the vast majority of users, I use the same AP for weeks or even months on end. I find the philosophy of NM bizarre in many respects. Admittedly it works, while the network service used to cause me at least endless trouble. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
