I have noticed that NetworkManager takes its own sweet time to find this router, yet ones (much further away) from the neighbours pop up into the list quite quickly. > Yip, Dlink router is a real bastard.

I've got more than a bit sick of unreliable gear. Now, having played with it and someone else's Netgear, one thing that I *REALLY* do not like about this Dlink DIR-300 is you cannot disable re-configuration via the wireless link. On other routers, I've been able to set it so that you had to plug a cable in to be able to configure it. Picture this scenario: You plug in your new wireless router, it has no security settings. You configure it using the HTTP webserver, and your passwords (any you set into it) are part of the HTML source code, viewable by anyone else at the same time. Your browser may display them as ***** in the webform, but it's only the browser display that's obscuring them. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.25.14-108.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
