Description Mads Kiilerich 2011-09-16 11:22:43 UTC

Toggling the wired network to off doesn't stop the network connection. ifconfig still shows it as UP and has an IP addresss. "Network Settings" also shows that it really is on.

Setting the wired connection to OFF in "Network Settings" do stop the IPv4 connection - but the interface stays UP and keeps its (unused and not configured by my) IPv6 address. I would expect that setting wired connection to OFF really took the whole device down. As I understand the data model and the user interface it is the device that is disabled, not the IP address.

I don't know if this is one or two issues.

NetworkManager-0.9.0-2.fc16.i686
kernel-PAE-3.1.0-0.rc6.git0.2.1.fc16.i686

Using Fedora 16 beta for few days at work, I have almost the same issue, except that for me, it works well through the network manager itself.

It doesn't work only using the applet ON/OFF button.

As I spend my time switching from wired connection to wireless one, it's not efficient for me :D

Here's the relevant traceback from .xsession-errors:


    JS ERROR: !!!   Exception was: Error: Error invoking NMClient.disconnect: Invalid callback given for argument callback
    JS ERROR: !!!     lineNumber = '0'
    JS ERROR: !!!     fileName = '"gjs_throw"'
    JS ERROR: !!!     stack = '"("Error invoking NMClient.disconnect: Invalid callback given for argument callback")@gjs_throw:0

    JS ERROR: !!!     message = '"Error invoking NMClient.disconnect: Invalid callback given for argument callback"'


...and a comment from the upstream bug report:

>For some weird reason, nm_device_disconnect @callback is not marked
>(allow-none) in the gir file shipped by the Fedora package, and probably the
>Ubuntu one as well. It is correclty marked as such in master and in the latest
>release of NetworkManager.
>(This means that calling device.disconnect(null) fails, making the switch
>useless).
>You should move this bug downstream and ask for a newer version of libnm-glib.
