Or user error? Anyone have it working? > The latest release of Network Manager are really... cranky. I have a Compaq 6710B with iwl3945. It worked with FC7 and rawhide up until about two weeks ago. I managed to get it to work with kernel 181. I make sure a wired cable is plugged in (strange, but it seems to work), do a restart of haldaemon, then NetworkManger and I have wireless. There are some updates pending but they are on hold with the freeze. I also have rawhide on a Dell Inspiron 9300 laptop with an ipw2200 card. Again, since about two weeks ago it doesn't initially default connect to my AP, and won't automatically reconnect (eg, when the microwave in my kitchen shields the signal.). On that machine the latest kernel works. What you're seeing is probably a combination of problems with both NetworkManager and recent iwl3945 code. darrell -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
