It's only when I go walkies with it that I can try it out. Quite some time ago I learn that you either run the network service *or* the network manager service, but not both at the same time. But this is the first time I've come across being told to turn off the wpa_supplicant service. When I was playing with it, it took a bit of jiggery pokery to get a network running - with stopping and restarting the wpa_supplicant service, and fiddling around elsewhere. Since I don't have wireless here, and I found network manager brought up the network too late (e.g. NTP wasn't connecting, and that holds up the boot sequence), I've left it off and went along with using the network service, by itself. I would like to get this all working automatically, and without pain. -- (This computer runs FC7, my others run FC4, FC5 & FC6, in case that's important to the thread.)
