I have found (thanks to Paul Frields for pointing it out) that you can still access the old NM connection manager by searching for it - 'connections'. From there you can delete and edit as before. Work is in progress to integrate the features in the GUI. This bug should be re-opened. Using Fedora 16 Beta, I still cannot figure how to delete a "remembered connection". There is an option to configure; Click the wireless status in the top right, Network Settings, Configure. There isn't a delete in the configuration. Name : gnome-shell Arch : x86_64 Version : 3.2.0 Release : 2.fc16 NetworkManager-gnome-0.9.1.90-3.git20110927.fc16.i686 It is still possible to connect to an open AP accidentally, and the configuration options now include removing the automatic connection ability, but not removing or 'blacklisting' the open AP. An open AP might be malicious and it might be desirable to treat them with more contempt than leaving them in the list. It's still possible to open the network connections dialog as described in comment 1, but there doesn't seem to be an easy link to it from the NM GUI. I am reopening this as F16 does not seem to have addressed the problem. *** Bug 697884 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** There are some deficiencies with gnome-control-center network panel's design. There should be a means of running connection editor from the panel for all connections. Nonetheless, you can simply invoke the editor from Applications->Other->Network Connections. The main problem appears to be that instead of one GUI of Gnome 2 (nm-applet), there are now more places to deal with NM - shell indicator, control-center network panel and connection editor. See also description http://live.gnome.org/ControlCenter/SystemSettings/Network This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '16'. 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 16'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 16 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, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora. 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 Fedora 16 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-02-12. Fedora 16 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
