	OK I jumped into Jaunty at Beta. No problems after switching to the 
replacement for NM. I did write a bug to Jaunty about the gmail.key and 
other encombering matter that made NM not work well.

	I was asked last week by Pedro to d/l Karmic alfa 3 and see if it has 
the same problem as 9.04 has. I did that and Karmic has exactly the same 
problem!

	Read back a few emails and see how many other people have this problem 
and what they did to correct for it.

	Finally I think your a liar. There is no way you could miss this 
problem IF your using wireless.
