Disable it, as NetworkManager will use it on demand. > I do need to run wpa_supplicant during boot - as I have systems where the user does not want to know about using NetworkManager and just wants to fire up the system and have the network running without intervention - and I want to be able to access the system even before the user logs in - I believe that NM only starts once a user logs in to the desktop. Hence I start wpa_supplicant as a daemon during boot on all my laptops and then call for an ip address via dhclient run from rc.local - that way the system has a wireless connection even if it has booted but the local user is not yet on a desktop. This is useful so that only specific networks defined in the wpa_supplicant.conf will be connected, keeping the system under control and secure. Anyway I presume that this facility will become usable again soon. -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
