Re: Problems with Networkmanager 0.7

[Tim Hawkins <tim hawkins mac com>]

I hav'nt tried setting the network entry, the last version i had that  
was not active.

In the uk with three, the 2G and 3G services are provided by two  
different providers with
separate network numbers,  both networks are "available", and the  
module will often lock onto
the one with the highest signal strength.  Here Three does the 3G  
whilst Orange
does the 2G fallback.  This means that without a "kick" it often wont  
lock onto
the right network.
