Re: Sandisk Connect + DHCP not working

I got it working :). I reinstalled the prism3 packages and then redid the 
configuration in the network manager one more time and everything worked. 
I think the issue may have been a combination of a dying access point and 
maybe a missconfiguration when I tried a second access point.

Also someone pointed out my original title was ScanDisk instead of Sandisk 
(oops :-P).

Thanks for the replies,
Yolan
