Also I noticed that /var/log/messages did contain an entry about this: ----------------------------------- Sep 16 23:32:32 blanche NetworkManager[730]: <info> WiFi enabled by radio killswitch; disabled by state file ----------------------------------- But how many people would know what the "state file" is? (I certainly didn't.) Why not say "by the file /var/lib/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.state"? You asked what I had changed. The answer is that my ADSL line stopped working (Telecom Italia) and I had been using an "Onda MC833UP" broadband dongle (a nightmare under Fedora/NM but quite usable under Windows XP). This caused NM to modify or create files all over the place, including deleting everything in /etc/resolv.conf . This is a habit of NM that I don't understand - I cannot think of any circumstances where an empty resolv.conf would be better than one containing something, however silly NM might think it was. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland -- 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
