I've just noticed that if NWAM detects a change in network status (interface goes offline or online) that it pops up dialog windows notifying the user of what's going on. That's fine. What I find odd is that these dialogs 'block' NWAM from effecting whatever changes need to be made.
Case in point. I pulled the cable on my network interface and then re-attached it. NWAM popped up a dialog and said that it had taken the interface down. I left the dialog on screen. Networking however was dead. As soon as I clicked ok on the dialog, another dialog popped up saying NWAM had brought the interface up (which it could have done as soon as I had put the cable back in). Only after clicking ok on that dialog was my network interface 'truly' up and functioning. This doesn't seem like proper behaviour to me. If I'm not physically at my machine and the interface goes down (but then comes back up immediately or close to immediately) my machine is dead until I can click on these dialogs regardless. Couldn't the dialogs be merely informational and not block NWAM's actions underneath? In the instance of it bringing an interface up it seems especially ridiculous that I have to click ok on that dialog before the interface really is brought up. This was using build 99 of 2008.11. Is this something that's fixed in Picea or phase 1? Thanks! Glenn
