embedded nic is named em1.
when connecting usb it names it as eth0.
As soon as it is plugged it tries a static ip conenction named "Poli" (because this profile is configured as automatic for all users).
Then I set a dhcp profile named "dhcp".
It tries but then it goes timeout and re-set "Poli" profile...
If you want to use a certain connection, you need to "lock" that connection to the specific device using the MAC address of that device. YOu'd take the MAC address of the iphone eth interface and enter that in the "MAC Address" field for the connection in nm-connection-editor. Then NM will only use that connection with the iphone ethernet interface. Ok, I did the reverse: I bound "Poli" connection to mac address of em1 integrated device. Also, I updated my system and now it seems to work ok via NetworkManager. I'm going to attach relevant /var/log/messages entries I get now. For the record, current relevant packages involved are: kernel 2.6.38.8-32.fc15.x86_64 NetworkManager 0.8.9997-4.git20110620 avahi 0.6.30-3 (though not changed since problem detection date) let me know if you need other information, but I think you can close the ticket... btw: the error Jun 24 13:06:11 ope46 NetworkManager[868]: <error> [1308913571.764687] [nm-device-ethernet.c:753] real_update_permanent_hw_address(): (eth0): unable to read permanent MAC address (error 0) was there both beofre and after resolution... donna what does it mean.

messages with new kernel and NM and problem disappeared...
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 It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 |
