However, I dont think its a must-have, merely a nice-to-have, especially if FreeBSD "wireless" were to reach critical mass! I was not aware it was linux-only, as *almost* every reference out there points out kiwifimanager or kwireless to me if I wanna get a hassle-free wireless connection working on KDE. I should have been more specific that I was using FreeBSD as well Thanks all -- Feisal Webcraft Solutions - http://www.webcraftsolutions.com -------------------------------------- Micro Credo: Never trust a computer bigger than you can lift.
