Dear all,
I've installed and even updated FC5 on my Acer TravelMate 290 laptop,
which uses an Intel Centrino chipset (ipw2100). Despite I carefully
followed the instructions in
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Tools/NetworkManager, ("The
NetworkManager tray icon automatically appears on your desktop once
the services are started.") I can't see the tray icon in my
notification area.
I've read elsewhere that this applet appears only when no cable is
present, so I tried also unplugging my ethernet cable and even
restarting with the wireless already on. All kind of combinations
didn't work. I still can't see the applet on the bar.
I restarted the services, and tried to disable the network service too
(despite this is not mentioned in the referenced link above, I read
elsewhere that if you enable the NetworkManager service you may
consider disabling the network service. That was another test I also
made. But still no success...)
I already made sure that my notification area is there, of course.
Can you think on anything else I can try?
Thanks in advance. Cheers,
I have seen where you must deactivate the device first in
system-configuration-network before NetworkManager will take over.
