After succeeding manually, try to understand what the network scripts do differently. You can place a few "set -x" inside the scripts to see what they are doing. The problem could be related to the fact that some settings (channel, SSID, ...) are only changeable when the interface is down (or up) and that appears to be not consistent between drivers. (ifconfig wlan0 up/down) (I personally lost my patience with NetworkManager, which is a mess, AND with network scripts, which are obviously abandoned; so I just have my own scripts to handle the connections). -- Roberto Ragusa mail at robertoragusa.it -- 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 Have a question?
