It still shouldn't flicker. I've never seen the NetworkManager network status icon (in the notification area on the task bar - which i assume is what you're referring to) doing anything that i could imagine being able to flicker. Except, possibly, the signal strength bars that are displayed when wireless is in use. I can't imagine them actually flickering, though - although if the signal strength changes, they change. But they should never change fast enough to flicker. Maybe there was some weird bug in the version you were using at the time... -- http://SnapAndScribble.com
