Amazing, I wasn't aware of this :-) Thank you for enlightening me.

Unfortunately, no :-( ... Now I see the following error message:

Sep 19 23:13:12 Xymnotune NetworkManager: <info>  Error getting
killswitch power: org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.KillSwitch.NotSupported -
dellWirelessCtl returned 4

And that is what keeps repeating.

Any ideas of what I can do to get around it?

thanks,
Rogue
