I have a WEP net at home. It brought up gnome wallet, asked for password. Connected OK When I woke up this morning, it was asking for the gnome wallet password again, and was not connected. Not sure why it was asking for a password again, maybe timeout? Then, I went to work, and connected to 100BaseT. Fired up NetworkManagerDispatcher and NetworkManager. (NetworkManager-0.5.1-1.FC4.4) Strange thing is, I don't have an eth0. Now I have: /sbin/ifconfig dev7098 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0F:B0:47:08:7A inet addr:10.32.112.206 Bcast:255.255.255.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::20f:b0ff:fe47:87a/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:59941 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:31550 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:38299508 (36.5 MiB) TX bytes:3412795 (3.2 MiB) Interrupt:185 Base address:0x7000 Wonder where dev7098 came from? I think this may cause some trouble. _______________________________________________ NetworkManager-list mailing list NetworkManager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
