Package: network-manager Version: 0.6.4-6 I just did my first fresh install of etch, and everything looked really good until I rebooted and tried to use the network.
I could ping things by IP, but name resolution was out. I thought, must be an installer bug, so I checked the resolv.conf, and it only said: # generated by NetworkManager, do not edit! [ five or so blank lines] I had never heard of this program before so I double- checked the network interface configuration, and it had both the DNS search path and nameservers I wanted to use. The man page for NetowrkManager pointed me to nm-tool but that tool's man page didn't suggest any way of changing the behavior of the software. nm-tool reported a self- assigned IP (169.x.x.x) on one eth1 and doesn't seem to know about eth0. Running ifconfig shows eth0 with the correct information and eth1 as being down. Running route -n shows that the default gateway is not set up. nm-tool --help doesn't work (in fact all command line args seem to be ignored). For now I have removed the package, but it would be nicer if it worked out of the box. System information: amd64 single processor two onboard Ethernet devices eth0 is forcedeth (primary interface) eth1 is sky2 static (non-DCHP) IP, static nameserver Thanks, -Ross -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
