The network works OK but there's no applet icon which can be a bit annoying when connecting to WiFi etc. The nm-applet can be made to appear by running it as root, it gives a warning though:- root@acer-aspire:~# nm-applet & root@acer-aspire:~# nm-applet-Message: using fallback from indicator to GtkStatusIcon In addition the icon shown in the panel is the 'old-fashioned' icon for an ethernet connection, the picture of a cable plugged in. I don't get the new icon - two opposing arrows. What package provides the new[er] icons? Maybe it isn't installed for some reason and that's why nm-applet isn't starting correctly for the ordinary user. </blockquote> --------------------------------------------------- I gave up trying to reinstall the nm-applet and downloaded the wicd network manager from Synaptic. After I downloaded it it appeared in my panel at top of laptop and it works fine. Paul -------------------------------------------------- </blockquote> </body> </html>
