Well FWIW I can't. I just recently upgraded my laptop from F7 to F8 and
my wireless connection needs WPA2 via wpa_supplicant but I also use
automounter and ldap. Automounter gets started in between the network
and wpa_supplicant which means it always fails. This worked fine on F7
which makes me think that the boot order was changed. Additionally if I
ever need to restart the network, i also need to restart wpa_supplicant.
Ok I can understand that but restarting wpa_supplicant empties the
routing tables for some bizarre reason.
