NetworkManager provides information necessary for this functionality over D-Bus, but itself is only the mechanism, not the policy, for this sort of thing. Other services are more appropriate to handle this sort of policy... Not entirely sure what component it should be filed against, but this could be implemented today with a service that listens on D-Bus and matches the connection that just got activated against a list of policies to apply. Probably more related to firewall config or something instead? In microsoft products (vista) system asks where are you when You connects to the Wi-Fi or cable network. Simmilar thing is NetworkManager in linux and I think that it is a best place to exec some scripts to immunize and unprotect our's machine. If it can change association of wlan card with AP or set manually IP's, why couldn't it stop some services and add some rules to iptables? This can certainly be done, but is outside the scope of the NetworkManager daemon itself. NM _does_, however, provide a D-Bus interface that apps can listen to for network changes to achieve exactly what you want, _and_ a script-based event system that executes scripts in /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d when network devices go up and down. Using those two mechanisms, what you want to do is quite possible. This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 10 development cycle. Changing version to '10'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Before this can be done for the firewall there has to be some place where you define, if a network interface is a home network, an external interface, a trusted interface or something else. This has to be done in NetworkManager, because it is used to control and start/stop networks. system-config-firewall is not responsible for network configurations and therefore is not the right place to decide if a new network connection should be trusted or not. Reassigning to NetworkManager. Changing title to reflect the enhancement request. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 12 development cycle. Changing version to '12'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 12. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '12'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 12's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 12 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora.
