Hi, <div>2007/7/19, Rich Shepard <<a href="mailto:rshepard@appl-ecosys.com">rshepard@appl-ecosys.com</a>>:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> I've just replaced another distribution on my fiancee's ThinkPad 600E with xubuntu-7.04. Everything is working nicely, except the wireless networking (which worked flawlessly before). The card is a Lucent Technologies WaveACCESS Gold PC24E-H-FC which uses the orinoco drivers. The network is configured the same as for the wired connection (which works just fine): same static IP address, netmask, gateway, routes, but 'the network is unreachable.' I just installed linux-wlan-ng and now the link light on the card does not come on during system boot, but it did before that package was installed. We need the wireless access so she can use the laptop around the house without trailing a long cat5 cable around. On a related issue -- applicable to both wired and wireless networking -- every time the system boots, more and more nm-applet instances are started. Each generates a warning message as it loads (because the wifi is not working), and the icons march right to left across the top icon bar. There are more than 19 instances now, but that's all the room there is on the screen; it pushes off the clock and quit button from the right end. How do I kill all but one instance, and keep it off?</blockquote><div> I can't help you with the rest, but I had this behaviour also. What I did ( and it worked for me) was: type "killall nm-applet". Logout the session with save session. Login. There should be no nm-applets any more. Now you can start one again ("nm-applet"). If this does not work, you can remove all your session information: "rm .cache/sessions/xfce4-session-*". I hope this helps and someone else can help you with the wireless. Cheers, Stefan </div> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> I had tried invoking it as 'nm-applet --sm-disable' but that makes no difference. It's a PITA, and nothing I saw on the session management dialog box tabbed pages seemed to help.
