You probably have 'network-manager' installed. e.g. if you have your connection setup via dhcp in '/etc/network/interfaces' then the above described will happen (at least here it has). If you don't rely on the functionality of 'network-manager' you can then just purge it. -- bye Thilo key: 0x4A411E09 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
