Package: network-manager Version: 0.8.4.0-2 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch
Below is an example system-connection file I used in the recent weeks. It seems to be good enough for practically anyhwere, even though it only configures wifi (unencrypted, WPA2-psk and WEP). As implied from the text, including the reference (settings-spec.html) in the package would also be nice. # The following is a simple NetworkManager system connection file # Edit it and drop it over to /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections # # Be sure to set the UUID for each new connections file. # # The NetworkManager daemon watched that directory (with inotify), so no # need to poke it after dropping the file there. # # This file only includes some common options. For a full reference, see # /usr/share/doc/network-manager/settings-spec.html . [connection] type=802-11-wireless id=an_arbitrary_name ## You MUST create a new uuid. use the output of e.g. genuuid or ## 'cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/uuid'. Be sure to recreate it after ## copying one file to another #uuid=d126879a-fef8-4665-9aa8-4c55499221a5 [802-11-wireless] ssid=the_bssid_of_the_access_point mode=infrastructure ## Only enable this if the connection is encrypted: #security=802-11-wireless-security # Also be sure to set the proper values in the following section: [802-11-wireless-security] ## WPA2: #key-mgmt=wpa-psk #psk=The Secret ## WEP: #key-mgmt=none #wep-key0=0011223344 -- Tzafrir Cohen | tzaf...@jabber.org | VIM is http://tzafrir.org.il | | a Mutt's tzaf...@cohens.org.il | | best tzaf...@debian.org | | friend -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
