At least on my laptop, running Fedora 9 with KDE, clicking the

Likewise, here with 9 and using Gnome. I wonder a couple of things:
Whether the original poster has tried both right clicking and left
clicking on the network manager icon. And whether they're trying to use
access points that aren't broadcasting their SSID (which is a complete
waste of time).

I have to be missing something here. Why do the wireless settings
on my router allow me a separate choice whether to broadcast SSID, if one
that isn't doing it is useless??
