Take a close look at what gets logged into /var/log/messages


Sorry couldn't try this out earlier, as my wife went away for a few days with the laptop.

Anyway, here goes. To try it out, I stopped the 'network' service and started 'NetworkManager' as well as 'NetworkManagerDispatcher'. Laptop was not connected to any Ethernet cable. My home access point showed up (essid 'zuhause', no encryption). I clicked on it to try to establish a connection:

Enabling something with a value of zero looks suspicious to me....

Now I was curious about this, so I tried it on another machine, my Buildbox, that also has a wireless card. Similar failure:

Sep  3 16:32:39 nordinou NetworkManager: <information>  SUP: sending command 'ENABLE_NETWORK 0'
 looks like it would disable the network?
