"Options..." button in Network control-center is disabled unless a connection is activated (it is used to open editor for active connection). You should be able to click on ON/OFF switch to connect. 'Save" button in the editor is disabled when some configuration is invalid (e.g. you select Manual method, but don't enter any IP). Please check that you enter connect data. Do you see any errors in .xsession-errors? Created attachment 498555 [details]

Switching the buttons you suggested this is what happens: The Dialogue says 'Connecting' for a few minutes then disconnects I have attached .xsession-error files. The setup I have performed on this machine is not unique. I have done similar setups on other systems. So you can be rest assured that the nm-connection-editor settings were correct. Please run nm-connection-editor in a terminal and post what it spits. Also, could you grab /var/log/messages from NetworkManager startup (there are messages about reading the connections). Strange For the first time in weeks, nm-connection-editor worked as expected. Saved the network configuration and it recognized both ports perfectly. I'll watch this trend again. This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '15' 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 15 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. 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 |
