With the problem with the onscreen keyboard, I solved keeping the
keyboard closed when booting, and opening it only after the boot.

It is the only little bug I saw until now!

Ps: using Network Nanager 0.6 I am not able to saw neither wifi or usb0
connection.

Someone had success on it? (for usb0 i know thet Network Manager 0.7
support it :)
