Remember the problem machine can't even send *me* things over my
LAN; what's more, I don't seem to see an app for writing them to a CD and
sneaker-mailing them to myself.
Hi-yi-yippee-ki-yay! I did ps ax|grep networkmanager ; got a
process number; killed it; and wonder of wonders, it put itself online.
I launched firefox, opened a tab to weather, and got today's
data ; so it really is online!
Many many thanks!!
