i forget now. :o(
i am not using f9. waiting for f10 to come out to see if all of problems
with f9 are cleaned up. from what i have noted in various threads, 'nm'
is among them and a lot switched back to 'ns'.

strange. in f8, i have little trouble with 'ns', tho i am not using wireless
as of yet.

this is true of most all software being written now. almost as if after
a bunch of hacking they get something to work and do not know how or why.
it is a shame that source code writers do not have time to write docs,
which causes a need to load source on system, only to find that they
do not have source well commented.

can you not set this up in /etc/rc.d/rc.local? then you would have only to
figure how to pass last connection to it. tho i wonder if this would help
if you are not in same place a lot.
maybe you need to consider getting sleep/hibernate to work.

not a slogan of source code writers. ;o)

this is true. try, try and try again. if all else fails, try one more time.
