Comment 1 Dan Williams 2008-10-06 20:57:47 UTC

can you attach the ifcfg file from this machine?

Also, can you 'killall -TERM NetworkManager' and 'killall -TERM nm-system-settings' then do the following (as root) and add the output to this bug?

/usr/sbin/nm-system-settings --debug --plugins=ifcfg-fedora

also, there was no nm-system-settings to be killed by the killall.

This _may_ be fixed in the newer build (20081006.0); I'm not willing to reinstall to find out until I'm sure you have the info you need from this machine.

Comment 5 Suzanne Hillman 2008-10-09 19:53:03 UTC

This is in fact fixed in the 20081006.0 build. Verified state (not sure what other state might make sense, so).
