I attached the entries from /var/log/messages in my first post. I see it starting wpa_suplicant for some reason but I'm not the right person to decide if that's correct or not. Once WPA was added to all this, I lost my footing ;) > - if you have "some" amount of control of the network, try turning off > the adhoc setup latops. I wish it were otherwise but sadly, I have no control over the other PCs. This is essentially a DOS attack against NM users. One person setting their radio to adhoc with the same SSID seems to prevent legitimate NM users. Can't we address this? Can't we find a way for NM to differentiate between managed and adhoc networks? I just want it to ignore the adhoc ones. Maybe just prefer managed instead? There's gotta be a fix for this.
