Please understand that I have *never* modified any Mageia-installed NM
configuration file. I don't know what you mean by the mdv/rh/keyfile
reference. I've been through enough of this to understand that there's
an NM config file that specifies a shell script file that comes in an
*rh* (RedHat) and an *mdv* versions. I have no idea what "keyfile"
refers to.in this context.

</I>
Fine. I'm just pointing out that I wasn't testing with backlevelled
code, but with Cauldron as current at the time.

</I>
Umm, no, I never had to write that anywhere for the simple reason that I
*didn't* choose to use NM. Mageia chose to use it for me, because GNOME
3 required it. I didn't do one blessed thing to encourage the use of
NM in any way.

</I>
Which, referring to the same bug report, I did and reported the
results. If there was a lesson to be learned there, it didn't get
fixed in whatever version of the plugin Mageia uses by default.

</I>
I'm fine with that...

I'll include that test in my next round.
