Why would it be a bug? It's expected that boot scripts should modprobe hardware that's present, if you deliberately unload the module then NM does not load it itself because that is the job of other sub-systems. The only reason you might unload a module is if you have USB attached wireless, if it's built in and not easily removable then the module should always be loaded. -- Brian _______________________________________________ NetworkManager-list mailing list NetworkManager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
