Hi all!

I have still problems to get a wireless connection using networkmanager.
if i simply do a ifup ath0 everything works like a charm. when using
networkmanage it seems to too! see yourself:

networkmanager thinks it activated the device but i can not even ping the
gateway! what could be the problem here?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[root raphael ~]# ping 192.168.1.1

what should i look for?
i`m using nm as of today and the madwifi drivers as of today. as already
mentioned using 'ifup ath0' works great.
