 I was trying not to pick on you!  Believe me, you are not the first...

 Excellent news!


More success to report. NM does join me to 2 different WEP networks
that it was never able to join before. Key appears to be turning off
wpa_supplicant service.  That is the only difference I tried this
time.

Okay, I know some people still use WEP at home, but with wpa_supplicant out, can you still connect to normal business networks?

Spread the word.  NM can work!
