Subject: network-manager-kde: need support for ifup/ifdown scripts
Package: network-manager-kde
Version: 1:0.2.2-1
Severity: wishlist
*** Please type your report below this line ***
I need to execute the command "ifup wlan0" before setting the
wireless options.
This is caused by a hardware issue. I did not find a way to do that
with
network-manager-kde, therefore I can't use that nice program.
My current workaround is, to use ifup/ifdown scripts not using
network-manager at all.
Example how it works at the command line:
modprobe iwl3945
ifup wlan0
iwconfig wlan0 essid "bla"
iwconfig wlan0 key "blubb"
If I put the ifup command below the iwconfig commands, the wireless
card refuses to connect to the AP.
It would be very nice, if network-manager-kde allow me to insert
that ifup command by configuration or
by calling a script.
My Notebook is a Samsung Q45, a very recent middle-priced sub-notebook.

First of all, this very much sounds like a crappy driver and you should
rather get the driver fixed to not need such workarounds.
Second, as Marcel already pointed out, there already is a mechanism to
run script at various stages using the dispatcher in NM.
Closing this bug report.
Cheers,
Michael
