My /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf reads: ----------------------------------------------------- [main] plugins=ifcfg-rh ----------------------------------------------------- I've changed the second line to "plugins=keyfile" though I have no idea what that means. Now I've run ----------------------------------------------------- [tim@mary NetworkManager]$ killall -TERM nm-system-settings nm-system-settings(2124): Operation not permitted nm-system-settings: no process killed [tim@mary NetworkManager]$ sudo killall -TERM nm-system-settings ----------------------------------------------------- Finally, I have right-clicked on the NM icon in my panel, and clicked on Edit Connections, then on the Wireless tag, next on Auto-dd which seems to be my current connection, and finally on Edit. There is no "System connection" box. There is only a box "Connect automatically" which is ticked. It seems I have misunderstood the instructions. What is the "connection editor" if not the above? And how do I "create my connection"? > Let me know if you have any questions.
