I get a window with 2 halves, entitled Interfaces and Connections. I'm connected at the moment. The left half-window says WLAN Interface Connected to wlan0 The right half-window says Connections wlan0 and down the bottom Show More Manage Connections If I click Show More it just changes to Show Less but has no other effect. If I click on Manage Connections I get the same window that I got when right-clicking on the icon. If I left-click on wlan0 the connection is broken for a second, "Connected to wlan0" in the left half-window changes to "Configuring interface", then "Setting network address" and then "Connected to wlan0" again. OK, this is fine; but I don't see any of the goodies you mention. There is no option to scan for APs, nor is there a list of available APs (as provided by "iwlist scan", which incidentally shows 2 APs, including the one I am using) More to the point, if I am not connected for some reason, the two window-halves are empty, and there is no action offered to me to correct the problem as far as I can see. > Choose the appropriate WLAN interface (you probably only have 1 but you > could conceivably have more than 1) and then on the right side, you can > pick from the available Wireless LAN's. > > Couldn't be any simpler. I think you should consider the possibility that I don't see what you see. Are you using KDE or Gnome? > Perhaps you are looking at the wrong widget I don't think so; I have 13 widgets in my panel, including 5 hidden ones. Only one has any connection with wifi. -- 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
