Okay, so Network Manager actually works... Weird. My hypothesis is that it didn't load right... It could also be that it came broken and an update fixed it. Hard to say. Luckily, ifup isn't horrible to use as long as you're hard-lined to the router.
Oh, so apparently, 12.1 Goldmaster was released on the 11th... So that makes it a day after I installed and tested it... So I guess I should have waited a couple days. Oh well. I'm not going to make an effort to download and burn it at this point due to the fact that it comes out Wednesday (16th).
One of the things I didn't get to talk about with 12.1 is the battery monitor. It seems a lot more accurate than the old version. Triela's battery is only really able to stay running for about an hour (and maybe fifteen minutes), which the old version of the battery applet said 3 something hours... Right...
A bug I found is when it goes to an hour, it displays 0 minutes remaining (x%)... I'm assuming it meant 60 minutes and somehow the 6 was left off... Oops. The charge and time remaining is also shown in the power settings, so if anything I can hop over there to double check if the applet isn't being truthful.
OH! I just remembered about having to turn the wireless on after every boot. Obviously, I'm not quite sure if this still applies, but I can test it after I eat dinner.
We'll see what happens in about 45 minutes.
Om nom nom nom!
