NetworkManager is an extra layer on top of the existing somewhat under-development and rickety other stuff. service NetworkManager stop and for good measure to stop it resurrecting itself chkconfig NetworkManager off Then you should look for wireless-related messages in dmesg and use iwconfig to see the device state and to set option on it. Something to be aware of: mac80211 insists the interface is down (meaning, eg, ifconfig wlan0 down) before it can have its iwconfig mode set and to be up before you can set the channel ;-) -Andy -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
