Description Nicolò 2007-06-06 17:32:31 UTC 
Description of problem:
NetworkManager fails to start (both at boot and after login) and complains 
about missing shared lib: libiw.so.28

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
NeworkManager 1:0.6.5-3.fc7

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.boot
2.OR
3.just type NetworkManager in a root shell
  
Actual results:
"NetworkManager: error while loading shared libraries: libiw.so.28: cannot 
open shared object file: No such file or directory"
Obviously eth0 will not work

Expected results:
NetworkManager should start

Additional info:
I don't have any libiw in my computer, and couldn't find any libiw***.rpm, 
maybe a dependency is missing?

BTW If I manually ifup eth0, it just works.
Comment 1 Christopher Aillon 2007-06-06 18:17:52 UTC 
It should be in the wireless-tools package....  wonder why you don't have that,
the dependencies should have picked it up.
Comment 2 Nicolò 2007-06-06 19:01:41 UTC 
Installing wireless-tools solved the problem, I wonder why I didn't have it 
installed too (maybe because I don't have a Wireless device, but I don't think 
the installer makes this kind of guess...)

I think this could be closed, thanks for the fast reply...
Comment 3 Christopher Aillon 2007-06-06 19:23:32 UTC 
K, closing out.

Also for future reference, if you know the name of the file you need, you can
always do something like:

  yum install /usr/lib/libiw.so.28
