Thanks for this reference.  I did the recommended things, but
I still have a configuration error.  If I boot with the
wireless on, I get:

   Jul 13 21:50:16 mbrc35 NetworkManager: nm_device_is_802_3_ethernet:
      assertion `dev != NULL' failed
   Jul 13 21:50:16 mbrc35 NetworkManager: nm_device_is_802_11_wireless:
      assertion `dev != NULL' failed

Note that I had changed the device name from the incorrect eth1 to
wlan0.  This required some hand file editing, because the change
did not propagate to all gui places.  It appears I am missing a
device name somewhere.

Time to stop for the evening at -0400.

Mike.
