Hello Everybody! As I can't use rt2500 with networkmanager (due the lack of wpa_supplicant-support) I tried ndiswrapper-1.2 (?) on gentoo and it works fine with networkmanager. On dapper - with ndiswrapper-1.8 - nm doesn't connect. Manually trying to run wpa_supplicant I discovered that I get a connection with my ap when NOT using -Dndiswrapper BUT -Dwext. Back to networkmanager: I found a workaround in src/nm-device-802-11-wireless.c, if (!strcmp (kernel_driver, "ath_pci")) wpa_driver = "madwifi"; else if (!strcmp (kernel_driver, "ndiswrapper")) wpa_driver = "ndiswrapper"; else wpa_driver = "wext"; which I removed (well, at least the part concerning ndiswrapper). Finally networkmanager connects fine. BTW: Installing the source with "apt-src network-manager", the workaround isn't applied (it's in src/nm-device-802-11-wireless.c.orig). I removed the lines from src/nm-device-802-11-wireless.c.orig and copied it over to src/nm-device-802-11-wireless.c and build a package, which works fine. Ciao, Olaf
