just to confirm my understanding, it is expected/normal for Networkmanager to request for root privileges before connecting to wireless access point? (If memory does not fail me, believe that root privileges is not required in 11.2 or some other distribution.)
No. Creating needs root privileges because the connection is not stored within you user's folders but within the base-system. Connecting does not need root privileges. The really bad thing about it is though that AFAIK formatting / and keeping /home will lose your connections. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
