No that's pretty much what I've been working towards. I've almost
finished wireless - except some tidying up with regard to WPA.
Its just with the change in structure I didn't want to change too much
incase it became redundant.
I'm incorporating Network Manager as much as possible - its difficult to
avoid the command line with troubleshooting though.
Wireless should be completed by tomorrow night. Its modem that I'm
dreading!
Cheers,
Dougie
