Weird request for blocking the scurge of the airwaves
Not sure how many of you will have heard of this, I'm not sure quite how far this thing has travelled but this Free Public Wi-Fi virus is getting on my nerves... Read a bit about it here; http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/travel/business/article3554838.ece I was wondering if we could have network manager just ignore ad-hoc networks with the SSID Free Public Wi-Fi Thoughts?

NM before login?
Is there a way of establishing (and keeping) a WiFi connection with NetworkManager before logging in? I've read postings saying it is possible, and others saying it is not. If it is possible, what are the steps one must take to implement this?

Hi Jochen, What stick are you using? i.e. Make and model number? You can find that out with lsusb. Kind regards, Nicholas Herriot.

Re: nm-tool doesn't show my mobile broadband card
I am surprised that /sbin/lsmod option solved your issue. 1. That is not even a valid command. 2. The driver should auto load on most modem distros. If for some reason you really did have to manually load the driver. You would probably want to use modprobe option so that the usbserial driver which the option driver depends on is also loaded I guess I am rambling and if it works it works. I just found it rather peculiar that running /sbin/lsmod option fixedJohn your issue -- .John On Sun, May 10, 2009 at 6:53 PM, Jochen Wiedmann jochen.wiedm...@gmail.comwrote: Never mind, problem was me: I had to load the option driver: /sbin/lsmod option Now everything works fine.

Re: Weird request for blocking the scurge of the airwaves
I do not know if I would call that a virus, but maybe I misread the article so please correct me if I am wrong. Also, your solution probably would be useful until someone started running the scam with free Public Wi-Fi. and now your even worse off because you are no longer worried to log on since you think NM is protecting you. -- John On Sun, May 10, 2009 at 4:23 AM, Karl Lattimer k...@qdh.org.uk Not sure how many of you will have heard of this, I'm not sure quite how far this thing has travelled but this Free Public Wi-Fi virus is getting on my nerves...

Wireless is disabled message
I found out about this list through the forum mentioned in the following thread: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/networkmanager-list/2008-September/msg00256.html and appear to have the same problem. The person appealed to you guys and seemed to get a fix: I looked through the messages, but was unable to deduce what that fix was. I have the same problem (my internal Intel wireless card doesn't work, so I think the computer automatically assumes that the wireless switch is set to off). I'm using an external card, but cannot enable wireless to use it. Could you please help, as I've exhausted 3 forums and every google search term I can think of!
