Bill,

   I agree that it's not the hardware; the USB radio gets returned tomorrow.

   This is quite frustrating: two distributions, two network managers, the
Intel radio chip driver is loaded in the kernel, but wlan0 will just not
automatically come UP and it does not start RUNNING and establish routes in
the kernel routing table.

Thanks,

Rich
