Hi,
I basically solved my issues with networking for now.
I am using wpa_supplicant. It allows you to set a group in
wpa_supplicant.conf who has access to the wifi interface. I
used "wheel"
This allows the wpa_gui to work for a regular user. cool!
It's not as
good as kwifimanager, but you have to use that as root in
order to do
anything useful with it. I like the fact that you can turn
off the radio
card with kwifimanager, but again, you have to run that as
root. Anyway,
off to other issues (power management!)
Thanks
rick
