For foreign machines, it will dish out an IP address in a small range so they'll work but not interfere with the rest of the network. I'd like to use Network Manager but at the moment it doesn't support PPTP on Fedora 7 and my laptop has a Broadcom BC4318 wireless card and something broke in a recent update (B43 driver replacing older stuff?) and I haven't had time to fix it apart from buy an Intel 2200 card on eBay to replace it. Anyone who's used an Apple laptop will have noticed that it transitions seamlessly from wired to wireless, I'd like NM to do the same. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
