Description Deependra Singh Shekhawat 2008-05-16 05:14:31 UTC 
Description of problem:

Network Manager doesn't let you set the static IP address for your wireless network.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

NetworkManager-gnome-0.7.0-0.9.3.svn3623.fc9.i386
NetworkManager-openvpn-0.7.0-10.svn3632.fc9.i386
NetworkManager-0.7.0-0.9.3.svn3623.fc9.i386
NetworkManager-glib-0.7.0-0.9.3.svn3623.fc9.i386
NetworkManager-vpnc-0.7.0-0.7.7.svn3627.fc9.i386
kernel-2.6.25-14.fc9.i686
How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set NetworkManager to manage your wireless device.
2. Click on the nm-applet and add a new wireless device with static IP address.
3. Fill in the IP address/netmask and gateway plus the DNS servers separated by
comma.
4. Click on OK.
5. Gnome bug report tool comes up and nm-applet crashed.

Running nm-applet from command line showed this:
[deepsa@localhost ~]$ nm-applet

5b80215c-28f1-6476-530568a9-16da1890 is dumped

  
Actual results:
We can't use static IP address for wireless connections with NetworkManager in
fedora9.

Expected results:
We should be able to use static IP addresses for wireless connections with
NetworkManager in fedora9

Additional info:
This should have worked if the option was given in the UI itself. Why release
something that doesn't work in a gold release?

Any more info if you want I am glad to provide.
Thanks
