So now I intend to make a fresh 11.3 installation, remove
NetworkManager.state and do rcnetwork restart. Then I'll do a
NetworkManager guided install.

Can anybody tell me what's wrong in this approach?

Just curious, where did you read you need to remove
NetworkManager.state? And.. are you using Gnome or KDE?

Generally speaking - set up your network card to use NetworkManager if
it isn't already like that... and use the NetworkManager icon to
connect... this is of course assuming you've got a recognized WiFi
card.

On my netbook using an Atheros card, I don't do anything special at
all... click the Network Manager icon, and follow it through to add a
WiFi access point.

C

I learned it from earlier threads.
I use KDE.
I do not understand why I don't get a NetworkManager icon at all.
May be that the trick?
