My desktop is a custom AMD64 3200+ 2GB ram, Nvidia & Marvel Gig-E,
Broadcom BCM4306 Wireless and all works fine.
Laptop is a Toshiba Tecra M5, Core Duo, Intel 82573L Gig-E, Intel
3945ABG wireless.
I've just upgraded and nm-applet wasn't showing here also. I added the
following to sources:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/network-manager/ubuntu intrepid main
and changed /etc/network/interfaces to only have the following lines
uncommented:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
Now everything is working fine! Looks good - seems to all be running OK
so far...
There aren't any WPA points here - I'll check later and report if I have
any problems at home with WPA2...
