It would be helpful if network-manager displayed the MAC of the AP in connection details, so one does not have to resort to terminal commands (iwconfig, dmesg). Now it displays only the MAC of the local network card. -- Marcin Kowalczyk [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://qrnik.knm.org.pl/~qrczak/ ___ NetworkManager-list mailing list NetworkManager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list

Two networks with the same SSID
There are two networks with the same SSID around here I suppose. The symptoms: sometimes I have no problems connecting to the network, but sometimes network-manager tries to connect and then asks for the keys, and in such case it is virtually impossible to connect even after many tries — unless I come physically close to the wireless router, in which case the connection has a high chance to succeed. In any case, when eventually connected, the connection works fine from the first location as well; it does not drop, and does not stall. dmesg shows different AP macs in the successful and unsuccessful case, even though nm always shows a single network with this name. Is it possible to specify the connection in nm such that it always chooses the right network? I tried to specify a MAC in the connection dialog (I am not sure whether this is supposed to be my the network card mac or the AP mac), but then nm does not connect to such network and creates another connection when I choose the network from the applet. iwconfig shows: wlan0 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:"rehalp" Nickname:"" Mode:Managed Frequency:2.457 GHz Access Point: 00:C0:02:D7:A1:30 Bit Rate=54 Mb/s Tx-Power=27 dBm Retry min limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr=2346 B Power Management:off Link Quality=100/100 Signal level=-44 dBm Noise level=-94 dBm Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0 I will be living for one more week in this location. -- Marcin Kowalczyk [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://qrnik.knm.org.pl/~qrczak/ ___ NetworkManager-list mailing list NetworkManager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
