Is this true? I have the impression that NM takes note of NM_MANAGED=yes or no in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-wlan0 (or whatever). So I assume from this that NM must read these files. I wish someone would document NM, explaining what files it consults, and something about how it is supposed to function. In my experience NM works fine 95% of the time; but when it does not work it is often very difficult to work out exactly where the problem lies. In particular the entries in /var/log/messages are completely useless. Another annoyance is that the network service seems to have got tangled up with NM, at least in Fedora-16; they used to be more or less independent. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College Dublin
