I just upgraded to Intrepid and NM 0.7 works wonderfully for me. It automatically detects my Bluetooth Pan (no more hacking around to set it up! :-D ) and everything starts online as it should. Only problem is it is not detected as a Mobile Broadband connection, but who cares as long as I get pro

Logging out didn't help. I tried reinstalling network-manager and network-manager-gnome, it prompted me to restart, which I did, and still nothing. I went to my Sessions Preferences and the Network Manager Applet was listed there with a command "nm-applet --sm-disable" I checked my System Monito

As I understand, the internet connection is one issue, the browser communicating with the DSL or PPP software is another issue. I have no problem with the browser starting right away on my DSL, but the ppp won't talk to my browser until I go to Firefox "file" and drag down to uncheck "offline." J
