Yep. If it was working under Gnome it should surely be working under e16. > You also mention ath0/wifi0 - do you have 2 wireless devices? No, all wireless cards I have ever seen automatically create a wifi0 *and* a wlan0 device when you insert them (this is a PCMCIA card). Before using Ubuntu, I'd never seen or heard of ath0. I'm unclear why wifi cards need two devices, but they're always present any machine I've seen. > The commands "ifconfig" and "iwconfig" may give useful information too. > > It sounds like you are connecting to the networks (at least partially?) > though - is that through network manager or another utility? > > Once in awhile my nm-applet does something similar, but it usually works > after re-enabling networking. > > On a final note, have you tried re-installing network manager?

Goddess knows why it needed that: a restart of networking and NM should have been enough. > Sorry I couldn't be of more assistance, You were very helpful. ///Peter _______________________________________________ NetworkManager-list mailing list NetworkManager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
