Re: [orca-list] [Support] A Brief Visit with GNOME 3.10

[Peter Vágner <pvdeejay gmail com>]

Hello,
I would also welcome some guidance regarding wifi setup. I haven't 
posted about it earlier because I am stil trying to make it work. For 
example with a place with many networks in range how do I choose my 
network of choice and how do I use the connect button then? According to 
my experience when hitting connect button it tries to connect to the 
last selected network not the network which button was last pressed.

Also arrowing in the calendar view is working however pressing one of 
the buttons representing individual days do nothing. Is this useable 
somehow yet?

Greetings

Peter
