Hi, I'm posting from Knoppix right now. As I had imagined, it was a matter of restarting the connection (only that wouldn't work through network-manager, so I found 'networking' service in /etc/init.d). In Root Terminal:
Code:
# /etc/init.d/networking restart
(ubuntu connects ok and Antix-8, although connecting at boot, needs to have the connection restarted after login screen or has the connection triggered if a super-user operation is performed - to mention Debian based distros).
