I think this is what you are looking for to remove old networks: http://live.gnome.org/DarrenAlbers/NetworkManagerFAQ#head-bef25c7fff6853c702b745626a9b6fb40058f0e4 > > 2) One of the networks I usually connect to uses nocat (it redirects all > web requests to a form where you need to authenticate).

Is this possible and I missed it? Not yet, PPP might make it for .7 but there is a lot of work remaining there. In the meantime you can use GPRSEC to connect if you want a GUI. http://gprsec.linuxforum.hu/modules/index/ It is nowhere near as nicely integrated as NetworkManager but it works. _______________________________________________ NetworkManager-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
