some observations re scanning: if i modify scan_interval in src/NetworkManagerDevice.c, i can see that even when Pause Wireless Scanning is disabled, some sort of scanning by NM still happens. watching iwconfig, i see the AP changing to FF:...:FF, the frequency changes, and the rate switches between 11Mb/s and 1Mb/s (but nothing in between!!??). also, when ethernet is plugged in, something similar happens (now the ESSID changes from "" to "XXX")... - which doesn't happen when eth is not plugged in. also, in src/NetworkManagerDevicePrivate.h, i have to change "guint8 scan_interval; /* seconds */" if i want a longer scanning interval.

I'll have to track that down. Its quite annoying :) > >Dan _______________________________________________ NetworkManager-list mailing list NetworkManager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
