I'm not Kevin, and I'm not offering a "mine works so what's wrong with you?" comment - just noting that for me it is working. Here's my info: rpm -qa | grep network ..........snip irrelevant....... kdenetwork-4.2.0-1.fc10.i386 kdenetwork-libs-4.2.0-1.fc10.i386 [cj at cjasus ~]$ rpm -qa | grep wpa wpa_supplicant-0.6.4-2.fc10.i386 I mentioned earlier I had a Broadcom 4306, but that's wrong -that's on my other laptop: on this machine the chip is: 03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN Network Connection (rev 61) Hope this helps. Did you do a full reboot? I'm finding as time goes on, that the old "you never have to reboot linux" maxim is fading; of course you had to for new kernels, but, there seem to be more and more issues that can be quickly cured by reboots - there's probably workarounds and commands that can substitute for most, but, sometimes, it's just dirty and quicker. I guess you're down to sleuthing if all else fails - maybe 'network' got turned on? You're sure the network is up? Reboot the router? The usual suspects... -- Claude Jones Brunswick, MD
