Odd. I wanted WPA, so I just deleted all the interfaces (except lo)
from /etc/network/interfaces, checked that NetworkManager was installed,
restarted dbus, and everything worked just fine.

So not a complete failure, it just didn't work for you, for some reason.

It's good, isn't it :-) I have a hammock on my verandah overlooking the
bush, and nothing beats swinging gently back and forth, making money
while the kangaroos crunch about beneath the trees... now if only we
could make power cables go away too!

Regards, K.
