With atheros chip both ath5k and madwifi I see a lot of disconnects with network manager. wicd is mostly stable although it does lock up on me every once in a while requiring killing and restarting. It also allows manually configuring the network address which I haven't found how to do with network manager and is much more configurable. On the other hand it's easy to setup a vpn with network manager, didn't see a way to do it with wicd. > It's in Sid/Unstable. > > Tom > > -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
