I don't think you understand my question. I know NM can fill in all the
details about the network. But right now i have to choose for 'Connect
to other network' to plug in to the wireless network that uses Dynamic
WEP because i don't get the wpa enterprise option when i click the
network from the list of networks that NM has found. The option 'Connect
to other Network' is only for connecting to networks with invissible
essid's right?
