Description of problem: networkmanager does not seem to respond immediately and false exit report Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):nm-applet 0.7.0 on fedora 8, x86_64 How reproducible: On my laptop Acer Aspire 9920G with wireless connection driver iwl4965 installed. Networkmanager active Steps to Reproduce: start fedora 8. login. Networkmanager applet appears at upper right position of desktop. 1. Activate the wireless connection wlan0 vie the gui : System>administration>network. A dialog appears that it cannot activate wlan0. Contact bugzilla. Do nothing for about 22 seconds. Then the icon of the nm-applet changes to a spinning circle . After 2 seconds a message appears that a connection has been established with the wireless network (here) "Wifi_A6". Now wlan0 is activated despite the earlier message. 2. 3. Actual results: I would expect no dialog that pops up to inform that the activation of wlan0 failed and that the icon of nm_applet would immediately starts spinning. Expected results: Additional info:
NetworkManager is mutually exclusive with the use of system-config-network; you either use one or the other... So it's expected that any operation performed in system-config-network will _not_ be reflected in the NetworkManager icon. Please use the NM icon to connect to networks.
