i've only seen the last few messages in this thread, so my comment may be off-base, but: i've always found the networkmanager UI to be sorely lacking. i often find that the network list has grown quite long, including things like "linksys" and "netgear" (i wonder where _those_ were?), and every starbucks or airport wifi i've visited in the last 6 months. to unclutter my UI involves at least 3 clicks per network (or maybe 4: scroll, select, delete, confirm). i've always wanted it to be a "select all the networks you'd like to delete" interface instead. part of the issue is that the "remembered" networks are remembered even if a previous connection attempt was unsuccessful. this means that clicking on "open" networks that aren't really open will grow the list, as will selecting a non-guest network by mistake. paul =--------------------- paul fox, p...@laptop.org _______________________________________________ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
