I seem to be in a small minority, but I completely disagree with this. I have never, ever, had any problem connecting to any ethernet LAN (where I had permission to connect). I don't see any point in NM interfering in this. I would be much happier if NM (or wicd) concentrated on establishing a reliable WiFi connection with as wide a range of WiFi devices as possible. In fact, I would like to hear that if any WiFi device works with any version of Linux then it will work with NM or wicd. Secondly, I would like any WiFi program to be as transparent as possible, so that one can discover (if desired) exactly what is happening, or failing to happen. At present, it is very difficult to diagnose if any problem arises in the WiFi device itself, in the client software, or on the server side. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
