I know several people here have had problems with the NetworkManager bugs in Intrepid.
I installed Xubuntu 8.10 on my new netbook the other day, upgraded everything, and found that if I used the networkmanager applet to define the interface 'auto usb0' with manual IP of 192.168.0.201/255.255.255.252 (the subnet I use for my FreeRunner, two IPs plus network and broadcast) it 'just works' again. On my desktop Ubuntu (gnome) however, I've still been unable to get it to handle it correctly. (I'm seeing some odd misbehavior in the gnome NM applet, it's possible that either xfce's nm-applet or NM itself is why my netbook works, but gnome nm-applet may still be broken) Has anyone else been successful with Ubuntu NetworkManager recently? And did you revert from a manual config via /etc/network/interfaces to allowing NM to handle usb0? BTW, if anyone is interested I have a working udhcpd set up where my FR hands out 192.168.0.201/30 to whatever asks for an IP on usb0, so I can just jack in and go, more often than not, on a new host. The daemon listens only on usb0, and hands out only an IP and subnet with no routes, which works fine with NetworkManager default - it finds usb0 without a problem on a 'virgin' host and asks for DHCP, and the FR provides. :) Oh, udhcpd is one of the functions rolled into busybox, so it's already on the FR by default and just needs config and launch. j _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
