Description of problem: I have recently done fresh fedora 13 x86_64 installation. In office my Network Manager works fine. Do not observed any problems with it but when I connect to broadband connection at home it often disconnect me from network. When I tried to restart network service it returns following error Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: I do not know how to reproduce it as can not blame to my broadband connection which was working fine with fedora 12 before. It never use to disconnect me. Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: [root@npatil ~]# /etc/init.d/network restart Shutting down loopback interface: Error org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerSettings.InvalidConnection: ifcfg file '/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-lo' unknown Error org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerSettings.InvalidConnection: ifcfg file '/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-lo' unknown Error org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerSettings.InvalidConnection: ifcfg file '/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-lo' unknown Error org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerSettings.InvalidConnection: ifcfg file '/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-lo' unknown [ OK ] Bringing up loopback interface: Error org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerSettings.InvalidConnection: ifcfg file '/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-lo' unknown Error org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerSettings.InvalidConnection: ifcfg file '/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-lo' unknown Error org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerSettings.InvalidConnection: ifcfg file '/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-lo' unknown Error org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerSettings.InvalidConnection: ifcfg file '/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-lo' unknown [ OK ] Bringing up interface eth0: Error: Connection activation failed: Device not managed by NetworkManager [FAILED] Expected results: It should not disconnect me in between. Should work smoothly. Additional info: Adding sosreport.

How do you configure and activate it? Using nm-applet, nm-connection-editor? What are the exact symptoms of your issue? You can use http://live.gnome.org/NetworkManager/Debugging tips for better debugging. > Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): > > > Actual results: > [root@npatil ~]# /etc/init.d/network restart You should use /etc/init.d/NetworkManager restart instead to restart NetworkManager. 'network' is a legacy service for networking. The sosreport contains too much information and it's hard to find relevant bits with little input. Thanks!
Workaround that worked for me: # /etc/init.d/NetworkManager stop Add a BOOTPROTO=dhcp if you use dhcp to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-<interface_here> or populate file with required values for a static assignment # /etc/init.d/network start If the above works for you, you can make it the changes survive a reboot by doing: # chkconfig NetworkManager off # chkconfig network on
Thank you, Tarek. I could solve this problem of your comment.
Glad it solves the problem but it doesn't solve the root cause since RH is promoting NetworkManager. If I can help in any way, please let me know.

Please, describe exactly what your problem is and what you do. And include the logs. Particularly /var/log/messages. Looking again at logs in comment #1, I think there could be a problem with the ethernet switch/router that tears the link. Also, the reporter says that it works in the office, but cause problems at home, which supports this assumption.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 13 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 13. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '13'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 13's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 13 is 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 please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. 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
Fedora 13 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2011-06-25. Fedora 13 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
