No, you misunderstood. These don't work (according to /usr/share/doc/README.Debian, only for interfaces marked auto and using dhcp): /etc/init.d/networking restart /etc/init.d/networking start until you log in and enable the network interface. I meant that I haven't tested right out the box from a text console, before starting any X session, but the commands above did not work from X until NM fiddled with it. I have tested this after logging once and leaving the network configuration in an unconfigured state (according to NM); in this case, too the init script didn't work. The only case where the init script worked was when I enabled the interface from NM and *then* it worked, even if I logged out of the X session. This would work until NM disables/deconfigures(/whatever is appropriate term would be according to NM) the card, when the init script, again, has no effect. - -- Regards, EddyP ============================================= "Imagination is more important than knowledge" A.Einstein -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFGCvjvY8Chqv3NRNoRAgxhAKCHVdznyRcpfbiIDo4ylwoVbjtE0QCfeObI fiwBm2Imgi25bLVFSVYGHaw= =tlRo -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
