Description of problem: After adding a host in system-config-network and deactivate eth1 and activate eth1 again, then NetworkManager shows no connection. After rebooting then network connection has to be activated manually with system-config-network. NetworkManager never shows connection. Firefox, Evolution, Epiphany are in offline mode after reboot, even thought they are stared after network ( internet connection ( wiered )) has been activated . Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): system-config-network-1.5.10-1.fc9.noarch NetworkManager-0.7.0-0.11.svn4022.2.fc10.x86_64 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Add host in system-config-network. 2. deactivate eth1 and activate eth1. 3. Actual results: NetworkManager shows no connection. After reboot. No internet connection. Expected results: NetworkManager ( applet in upper right corner )to show connection when there is internet connection. Additional info: I have repeated this problem in FC10 many times.
Hi, can you please check /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-eth0 for line NM_CONTROLLED. I guess it's the same problem as in rhbz#459017 because if there's no line NM_CONTROLLED then s-c-n take it as NO and NetworkManager as yes. So if you deactivate and activate device via s-c-n and let s-c-n save the new configuration it writes NM_CONTROLLED=no to ifcfg-* file and that's why NM doesn't handle the device... You can to edit your eth1 config with s-c-n and check the "Controlled by NetworkManager" option.
Created attachment 319165 [details] /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-eth0 and 1 before and after Changes with system-config-network. Changes on device eth1 x Controlled by NetworkManager x Activate device when computer starts Atter that inernet is connected after reboot and firefox and .. are in online mode when started.
