Hi!
(Not sure whether this should perhaps go under Networking & Wireless...)
Last week I needed to access a WPA-protected wireless network, I used the NetworkManger Applet and after installing wpa_supplicant it worked great! However, simultaneously gdesklets turns grey and freezes completely!? Anyone else had this particular problem? I could live without gdesklets, but its just a tad annoying that I can't get it to work ;-)
The problem can be repeated, if I kill the /sbin/wpa_supplicant process gdesklets can be restarted and runs nicely (until I again enable the wireless network!)
Any input would be interesting, I'm running Feisty on a LG laptop, not too many strange things installed!
Now I can add that the problem is still there after upgrading to Gutsy!
