At least nm-applet gave me connectivity at times. So it's back to nm-applet. The Ubuntu flavors are the only distros that have ever got my wireless to work - I've tried about about 15 distros - so I'll stick w/my XP-Xubuntu dual boot.

To try that, install the package gnome-network-admin. -- Vincent
