Thanks for this reference. I did the recommended things, but
I still have a configuration error. If I boot with the
wireless on, I get:
Jul 13 21:50:16 mbrc35 NetworkManager: nm_device_is_802_3_ethernet:
assertion `dev != NULL' failed
Jul 13 21:50:16 mbrc35 NetworkManager: nm_device_is_802_11_wireless:
assertion `dev != NULL' failed
Note that I had changed the device name from the incorrect eth1 to
wlan0. This required some hand file editing, because the change
did not propagate to all gui places. It appears I am missing a
device name somewhere.
Time to stop for the evening at -0400.
Mike.
