Hi,
I run a laptop with lenny and debian kernel 2.6.32 that runs wireless.
I connected to the laptop via USB a disk that contains a partition that also
has debian kernel 2.6.32 but sid and that doesn't have network manager or wicd
installed.
How would I get wireless going without them on that USB disk?
That's how I manage my wireless network system by integrating ifplug +
guessnet + wpa_supplicant

Very nice. But I can readily see why those network managers are needed.
Thanks
