I have the same wireless card as you and I use: $ dpkg -l |grep network-manager ii network-manager 0.6.6-2 network management framework daemon ii network-manager-gnome 0.6.6-2 network management framework (GNOME frontend with no problems. I recall there is / was a problem with network-manager not liking it when you have the '/etc/network/interfaces' setup with the wireless interface. here is a copy of my interfaces file if it any help. $ cat /etc/network/interfaces # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system # and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5). # The loopback network interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback # The primary network interface allow-hotplug eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp > thanks! > > -- > Lubos [EMAIL PROTECTED]" > http://www.lubos.vrbka.net > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject > of "unsubscribe".
