You have a different definition of "apparent" than I do :-( wpa_supplicant puts out way more information than I can use, and none of it seems remotely helpful. When I connect to an unsecured wireless network, first it tells me it's associated with the AP, then it tells me that it knows it's unsecured (so why is wpa_supplicant even being called...?), then it appears to do an AP scan - losing my AP along the way and eventually timing out. Nothing from wpa_supplicant is useful to the average network user, and I have my doubts that much of it is very often useful to wpa_supplicant's developers. I've basically had to stop using Network-manager for wireless. -- derek -- derek _______________________________________________ NetworkManager-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
