JD; Sorry if you thought I was seeming to infer the "-dd" was to fix the problem. I obviously didn't explain that well. Status: Completely removedNetwork Manager and its dependencies with yum. Then removed all files related to wireless under /etc/sysconfig (after backing up). In KDE, ran network setup, re-installing wireless device/settings. After a network restart, attempted to bring wireless up but still won't work. The output of /var/log/wpa_supplicant looks like it associates and then disconnects as shown below: OUTPUT OF tail /var/log/wpa_supplicant AFTER RE-INSTALLING WIRELESS: Trying to associate with ##:##:##:##:##:## (SSID='XXXXXXXXXXX' freq=2427 MHz) Associated with ##:##:##:##:##:## WPA: Key negotiation completed with ##:##:##:##:##:## [PTK=CCMP GTK=CCMP] CTRL-EVENT-CONNECTED - Connection to ##:##:##:##:##:## completed (reauth) [id=0 id_str=] WPA: Group rekeying completed with ##:##:##:##:##:## [GTK=CCMP] CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED - Disconnect event - remove keys Here are the contents of all files in /etc/sysconfig related to wireless after the re-installation: http://pastebin.com/SgwctiXv Thanks, Tom -- Tom Taylor - retired penguin openSuSE 11.3-RC1 x86_64 Fedora 13 KDE 4.4.3, FF 3.6.4 claws-mail 3.7.6 registered linux user 263467 linxt-At-comcast-DoT-net -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
