Network manager wireless control works great in F9!

2008-07-08 Thread Arch Willingham
I have rarely used network manager in F9 or in previous versions. One of my 
goals is to get wireless to work with our infrastructure which uses RADIUS and 
PEAP. Over the last couple of years, I have read and read and tried and tried 
as I had time to do so but have never been able to get a connection to our 
wireless. Before last week, I primarily used WiFi radar as the means to connect 
to a non-secure wireless device but with F9, it got flakier and flakier. I have 
no idea what made me try it but last week I tried enabling Network manager's 
control over wireless.

In short, it is awesome! Inside our office, it immediately popped up asking for 
the required credentials and BANG! It connected. Ditto with every wireless 
hotspot I have tried. Also, it is much easier to explain how to use to an end 
user than the methods I was using. Ironically, I also dual boot many of these 
machines and the Network manager means of connection is much easier and more 
intuitive than the native control offered by XP and/or the utilities that ship 
with the NICS/laptops (Dell for instance).

I have read where many people have had problems with Network manager but I just 
wanted to say thank you to who ever made it.
