Here is what I see in the log: Aug 11 02:56:01 linux-zh76 NetworkManager: <info> starting... Aug 11 02:56:01 linux-zh76 NetworkManager: <info> Trying to start the modem-manager...

Let me know if you need any additional info. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Click on NetworkManager applet. 2. Choose "Manage Connections.." 3. See that "Wireless" tab is not available (always grey). -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
