I recently bought a System76 laptop with Ubuntu 6.06 pre-installed, and Network Manager connects to my university's wireless network without problem. They only use IEEE 802.1x + Dynamic WEP, but wpa_supplicant supports TKIP and CCMP too. > - /etc/network/interfaces listed non-existant devices and because of WPA, a > manual setup of this file is needed Not in my experience. I've handled all network details through Network Manager on this laptop. > - something useful like ifplugd was not installed and the user was puzzled by > the fact that plugging in the network cable did not result in network access I just plugged an Ethernet cable in, and Network Manager detected it and switched to it immediately. I just removed it, and it switched back to the wireless network. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
