I am sorry to be so ignorant, but I do not know what network-manager is or if I want network-manager to manage my networks. I just want the network to come up when I boot :-)
In Gnome, I selected System -> Administration -> Networking and typed in my root pw to an app identifying itself as "network-admin". I then set up my wireless card exactly as I do in Edgy. network-admin must have taken it upon itself to write the file /etc/network/interfaces. At no time was I asked to do anything with the Gnome keyring, of which I am sorry to say I know nothing. In Edgy, network-admin can produce a configuration that causes the system to boot with the network enabled, so I don't think it is unreasonable to want the same for Feisty. Should I repost the bug with some other subsystem? Thanks very much for looking at this and for your patience!
