Thanks for the reply, Bernard. I used to use wpasupplicant and that is what finally drove me to wlassistant so I could choose among APs manually. I realize Debian relies on configuring the network stack without reliance on a GUI and I too use ifplugd for my wired Ethernet interface. I see the reply below mentions a Plasma widget for Network Manager that may be the same as the widget used by my Kubuntu 8.10 test installation. - Nate >> -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds.
