[quote="jisis"]Yay! Another tour of duty against wireless completed. Don't know exactly how it worked but downloading the stuff needed from http://www.atrpms.net/ helped. Then, it was case of manually setting the mode to 'Managed' from 'Auto' Finally, NetworkManager completed the job cos I couldn't get wpa_supplicant working on me own.[/quote]
