Where does it say that the NetworkManager needs a downgraded version of |
| 17 |
wpa_supplicant? The reason that I ask is that I use NetworkManager on |
| 18 |
my laptop and it's been great.. except for at work where we use |
| 19 |
Enterprise WPA or whatever it's called. I haven't been able to log in, |
| 20 |
but a workmate of mine installed a fresh copy of Hardy Heron and it |
| 21 |
worked the first time. I haven't really had the time/interest to figure |
| 22 |
out why it wasn't working on my Gentoo laptop. |
