What you've described in your email is that you're running Network Manager without actually using it. You're trying to do things in /e/n/i manually, while also having NM installed with does (really good) automagic config of your network devices -- though at the moment, it is really solely focused on improving laptop use cases. I'd be happy to demonstrate to you on Friday why NM is such a delight, and why I no longer have to edit /e/n/i or reconfigure network devices on my laptop. > I think it got installed with all the Gnome crap. This is getting a bit old now, Mike. If you don't like it, that's fine, but allow credit where it is due. GNOME is paving the way for non-geeks to have all the benefits we derive from Software Freedom. It may not be your cup of tea, but that doesn't make it 'crap'. - Jeff -- linux.conf.au 2007: Sydney, Australia http://lca2007.linux.org.au/ "When you're running, you want to run as far as you can, and you can't run further than Australia." - Jacek Koman -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
