See the message on lkml and linux-wireless with the subject: Recent wireless breakage (ipw2200, iwconfig, NetworkManager) It actually has nothing to do with NetworkManager, but the problem is that gregkh's patch broke HAL in ways that only an as-then unreleased version of HAL could cope with (and possibly other stuff). Root cause was that the patch gregkh landed was faulty. See his mail with this subject and the date of "Tue, 6 Mar 2007 12:05:37 -0800 (15:05 EST)". The patch removed the 'device' link from /sys/class/net/XXX/ directories, which means you simply cannot match up the class device with the hardware it actually is, which is wrong & bad. Dan ----- Can you try the patch below? And enable CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED. It should cause HAL to see the network devices again, as the symlink is now back (it shouldn't have gone away, that was my fault...) I tried this with HAL 0.5.7, which is pretty old, and hal-device-manager shows my network devices properly. thanks for your patience, greg k-h ----- -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
