While I don't use BOINC, I've had had similar issues with other programs, and moving network manager's start up position has helped with some, but not with others. Moving those other things start up position further back has helped with a few more, but not all. I have two concerns with doing that sort of thing: I shouldn't have to do so much mangling to get things to work that are expected to work in their current configuration. And I might have to keep on fiddling around if updates undo my mangling. > 2. Do not configure BOINC to start a boot time in the usual manner > but add a "server boinc start" to rc.local. I've had to do something similar. It strikes me that something is *really* broken with Network Manager. Other services wait until they start before returning to the next item in the startup sequence. Network Manager seems to be returning as ready, before it is, and buggering up other things that follow. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.25.6-55.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
