Hi Jonathan, Since iwconfig, and iwlist work, this really looks like a bug with network-manager. 64studio is based on Ubuntu Hardy, which is why you get version 0.6.6. I've filed a ticket to backport nm-0.7.1 to 64studio ( http://trac.64studio.com/64studio/ticket/515 ) but it would be great to k

Well, Gustin, I'm not sure what distro you're advising me on, but it's not 64studio 3b3 :-)  There is no /etc/init.d/NetworkManager at all.  I did try disabling the new module as you suggested, but now the wifi hardware isn't seen in Network Manager at all. Perhaps I'm using the wrong kernel?

Not sure if this is a red herring... I think this is the same behaviour I got when I installed 3.0b3 (and 2.1 for that matter) before I installed the driver firmware for my chipset (iwl3945 in my case). After installing on the wire and restarting it was recognised correctly. On Tue, 2009-09-29 at
