However, I was testing with the NetworkManager from FC4, not the new one from FC5. With _new_ versions of NetworkManager you need one more change, which Dan Williams provided. It makes softmac produce a standard 'association' event, rather than a custom event of its own. This makes the new NetworkManager work for me with WEP, although WPA still doesn't work (unless I use wpa_supplicant manually). That's in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=183245 WPA doesn't work with a network which doesn't broadcast its SSID either -- not even with wpa_supplicant, unless I use the evil hack at http://david.woodhou.se/wpa_supplicant-hack.patch ------------------------------------------------ ╔══╗ ║ j≈ ╚══╝ __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
