I'm a relatively new Debian user, running an up-to-date Etch on a ThinkPad T60.
I'm having some trouble getting the NetworkManager app to work the way it seems it should. In particular, after a suspend it takes some time (a few minutes) to acknowledge that there are network interfaces present, and then it is unable to connect to any available network. I'm sitting fifteen feet away from a WAP, and it (and others) shows in the list of available networks, but when I try to join, it just spins for a while before giving up. I was able to get a wireless connection by running network-admin, which connected instantly, but this seems not to work with NetworkManager--my connection didn't show in the status bar on the panel. Interestingly, as I was typing this (having connected with network-admin), the NetworkManager thing started spinning, indicating that it was trying to join a network, and it did successfully join my network. This was perhaps five or six hours after my last suspend. Is there anything I should be doing differently? The docs on NetworkManager are pretty slim. If it works as advertised it would be really convenient, but I do need to be able to come out of a suspend a join a network immediately. Thanks.
