I think we got this fixed upstream on Monday -- need to get a new snapshot into rawhide. Seems to work as expected in current rawhide (NetworkManager-0.7.0-0.3.svn2983.fc8), except for one minor thing. When NetworkManager was first enabled on a fresh install, it showed the network as disconnected, even though the connection *had* been up before that. Checking ifconfig I noticed that the connection was, in fact, now down. I told nm-applet to connect to the wired network, and it connected. And now, as mentioned, the connection works fine for me at every login. Michel, does NetworkManager work for you now? Using NetworkManager-0.7.0-0.3.svn3020.fc8, problem still persists. - Boot computer - Drop to a terminal and bring eth0 up manually (/sbin/ifup eth0) - Log in - Verify that browsing works, Mugshot client connects, etc. but NM still claims connection is disconnected NetworkManager will not recognize manually changed due to manual interface control, like using ifup. That's expected and not a bug. Michel, can you ensure that you have checked the 'autoconnect' box in GConf for your ethernet connection? It'll be in /system/networking/connections and in the 'connection' directory of a connection under that path. You're looking for the 'Auto Ethernet' connection. That will tell NM to connect to the wired network automatically when it can. Before and including Test 3, the autoconnect bit was not checked by default for other reasons. The key does not exist -- does the default GConf schema for NM include it? Slightly OT, but is nm-connection-editor supposed to be working? I have to run it manually, and it does not list my existing connections. do you have anything under /system/networking/connections at all? The connection editor isn't yet working; that's why its disabled from the right-click menu of the applet. Ah, funny, it's there now after restarting the system. When editing, I do get a warning that the keys have no schema -- will this be fixed for F8 final? schema stuff wont; schemas will get added later but aren't critical. sounds like its working now for you, thanks. |
