thanks Vlado, that gets me more info (but no solution yet) 1 - with only built-in wifi card, I get a blank list. [j...@harpo ~]$ rfkill list all [j...@harpo ~]$ lsmod | grep ipw ipw2200 115811 0 libipw 20827 1 ipw2200 lib80211 4062 2 ipw2200,libipw 2 - once I plug in the pcmcia and usb cards, theyre both unblocked, but the builtin (ipw2200) is still missing. [j...@harpo ~]$ rfkill list all 1: phy1: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no 2: phy2: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no Blocking and unblocking alters the displayed state (as above) but NM-applet says that all 3 are disabled. (including ipw2200 builtin card) _______________________________________________ networkmanager-list mailing list networkmanager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
