problems with NM under FC3

[Mathias Schulze <mathias schulze web de>]

Hi!

I have some problems with NM under FC3, kernel 2.6.10-1.737_FC3 (network 
drivers: eth0=e100 and eth1=ipw2100), on a Vaio Z1RMP. Please let me 
know, if you need more info.


When I use NetworkManager_0.3.1-3, I do not get a network connection at 
startup. NM hangs in an infinite loop:

After restarting NM service, it works:

When I use NetworkManager_0.3.3-1.cvs20050112.1.fc3, the problem is 
worse: After the following messages, the system hangs and I have to 
reboot. Maybe also a problem of ipw2100? Note: My network is ABC, and 
ADTS a foreign one which I can not access.

Thanks for any help
