Thanks, but ...

I do not load ipw2200 on system start to save battery power. Does my
wireless card spend battery if ipw2200 is not connected?

one more question.... sorry for repeating ...
why do I don't see VPN menu when I left/right click on the icon in tray?

I have openvpn and vpnc installed ...

Thanks a lot one more time.
