Hi All,

I am seeing a very strange behavior on my Dell D810 laptop. Everytime I 
start up the system, NM chooses to connect to a non-existent wired 
network. I see the following in the log files:

This has started occurring after I installed Fedora 7 on my laptop. Now 
I am wondering if this is a Fedora bug of a NM bug.

Any pointers on how to fix this issue are welcome.
    

It's been fixed in SVN and built as an NM update for F7.  See:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=194124

Should hit the mirrors in the next few days.  Out of curiosity though,
what does /sbin/lspci say?

hope that info helps you... Another bit of info, earlier I used to download the ipw2200 driver separately, but this time I noticed that NM was picking up my device well and nice, so I did not install that driver. Do you think that could be an issue?

later,
Rogue
