I did try network-manager briefly, but (a) dbus wouldn't allow me to run knetworkmanager as a normal user, even after adding my user to the netdev group and re-logging in, (b) when I ran it as root so I could try it out, it refused to stay connected to the network and instead dropped the connection after a few minutes, and (c) I would really prefer networking to be available at boot time as opposed to after I log in so e.g. ntpd can start up at boot time. -- Daniel Schepler -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
