Networking issues are a pretty big deal to me, too. I live in hotels roughly 40 weeks out of each year, and swapping around has been... iffy. I've had a love-hate relationship with NetworkManager, over the years, and grew to despise it in GnomeShell. For a while I was having trouble with the wifi driver (unsupported, mostly) for my laptop--constant disconnects, refusal to reconnect--and tried Wicd as a supplement. When NM went pear-shaped, I could stop the driver, start Wicd, and pretty much keep working. Really unstable, between the two of them. With my current Gnomeless install, Wicd just seems to work. It's even dealing with the Mac router at my in-laws' house, which kept dropping NM down to 1KB speeds. Wicd hasn't had or caused any issues. One thing I did love about Mageia, btw, was the NetworkManager interface. Man[drake|driva|geia] always did some nice and useable extensions to the base tools. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Linux Users Group.
