networkmanager used to ignore interfaces listed in /etc/network/interfaces (and does this still on my debian/unstable box), so putting the wiki's stanza for usb0 auto usb0 ... might be worth a try. ___ Openmoko community mailing list

I also found out that somewhere under ~/.gconf there's a directory for each wireless network and you can delete those. ah! you're using gnome. Less than intuitive though! well, it's gnome, isn't it? anyway, that's totally ot for the list now ...
