Network manager should stop trying to connect on a wifi network every time, even when I don’t want to connect or even when I don’t have any password to connect on the network stored in my pc. It seems a simple thing, but when I’m not connected to any network, gnome never stops launching pop-ups trying to connect to a network. I need to turn my wireless card off, so I can work again. It should have an policy that tries connecting only when I have a password and if it fail, shouldn’t thrown any pop-ups. Just launch pop-ups when I really clicked to connect on a network. And just to know, where I can edit my wifi options about every network stores in my pc? like which encryption method to use, or which password to use? (don’t find it on gnome 3)
NetworkManager only connects to networks when it is explicitly instruct to do so or if a stored (WiFi) connection profile is marked as auto connect. You can list connection in a terminal with: $ nmcli -f name,uuid,type,autoconnect con list To edit connection profiles from GnomeShell use: 1) Applications->Other->Network Connections 2) click 'Wireless' tab, select a connection 3a) Either click 'Edit...' Uncheck 'Connect automatically' and edit other stuff as you like and 'Save' 3b) or you can remove the connection completely by clicking Delete button if you don't want it.
The easier tool is "nm-connection-editor", type "nm" in the overview and it's called "Network Connections". This will let you edit all your existing connection settings.
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached 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, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. 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
