Do you actually need network-manager? Is it possible for you to configure your interface in /etc/network/interfaces and instead depend on $network in your mythtv-backend init script?<br>

Yes, that probably would be another option -- but as you say it still looks like adding a dependency into 'mythtv-backend' for networking (either '$network' or 'network-manager') for Debian users. At that point, either having a delay (like I did), or hard-coded wireless network parms in '/etc/network/interfaces' would do the trick :)<br>
<br>
I remain puzzled, though, that other Debian users have not encountered the same challenge (?).<br>

As others have stated, I think that most of us find that Debian's network manager is just too much overhead on a box plugged into the wall. I think that, not to overly generalize, I tend to believe that when Debian pushed the network manager on us, we just removed it.<br>

I'm also running a custom start-up script which has always depended on eth0 being there before myth-backend started.<div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><br>
