It may work for some users, but it is a thorough hodge-podge and packaging with with rpm is a peculiar task. I think you should take a calm breath and figure why NM does not work for you. I was an NM hater, but have now found it works 100% of the time on routers that allow DHCP (not static IP wire, but DHCP wire is OK too). If you don't run gnome, as I often don't, you should start the network manager applet with a script like so: $ cat bin/my-nm-applet eval "`gnome-keyring-daemon`" export GNOME_KEYRING_PID export GNOME_KEYRING_SOCKET rm nohup.out nohup nm-applet & # kill $GNOME_KEYRING_PID Of course, before you do that, make absolutely sure that the "network" service is OFF, wpa_supplicant must be OFF, and NetworkManager must be ON. pj -- Paul E.
