keyering problem with network manager applet 0.7.1
Hi, I use network manager applet 0.7.1. I had set the automatic wireless connection to my my wireless network (WPA key secured). Recently, I get the following problem: At the automatic connection, I get the message: Network manager applet (/usr/bin/mn-applet) needs default keyering. As I don't know what it is to type it and then, deny or OK, it doesn't get connected to my wireless network. How could I solve the problem? Look forward to your reply, Carol ___ NetworkManager-list mailing list NetworkManager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list

Rick Remember that cellular mobile broadband doesn't actually use DHCP at all; the DHCP or PPP session is between you and the 3G device itself. What happens over the air is not DHCP, but a GPRS PDP context setup between the 3G device and the network that does not include the domain name. You *may* be able to obtain a domain name through reverse-DNS, which NM may already be doing if you haven't set a persistent machine hostname through /etc/hostname or wherever.

Re: NM deleting WPA key secret in Fedora 12?

There is only an SSID stored, no BSSID. I should have added that clicking on the network SSID in the NM applet's left click menu does nothing, it doesn't bring up a dialog asking for the connection's secrets and in fact it does precisely nothing. If this ever happened in F11 then I would be prompted for the WPA PSK which no longer happens. This is odd, but before we do anything else, can you try the NM in updates-testing? I haven't seen this at all but it could point to keyring issues since the WPA passphrase is stored in the keyring. Right. I have now seen a second case of this, the symptoms were sudden loss of network throughput but NM and the Netspeed applet both showed the connection still working. Reselecting my home SSID from the list in NM's left click menu resulted in an attempt to reconnect that never succeeded. On opening the WPA settings via NM's right-click edit menu the passphrase was blank. Re-entering it sorted the problem out. I see there is a new wpa-supplicant in updates-testing, do I need that too? I will restart with the updated NM and see if anything has changed. -- Brian ___ NetworkManager-list mailing list NetworkManager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list

[PATCH] v3 Disabling/enabling notifications in NM 0.7.2
Sure, I can roll v3 of my patch with these new changes, I'll have it
sorted over the weekend.
OK, here's v3 of my patch for the notifications, it's been cut down
considerably. Thanks, it works quite nicely!
Regards,
Alex

I might give it a shot now, I would encourage you to continue, there are certainly people out there who could use this. I don't really have any technical comments to make but I'd like to say: Yeah me too! Please do this! I promise to use it lots!!! As a regular user of multiple ssh port forwards, an ssh VPN always sounded like a great idea. A one-click setup sounds even better. A further thought in case there's some way to facilitate it. I tend to ssh into a bastion host which in turn allows me to ssh into a private host further into the network. I daisy chain port forwards across the two ssh sessions. I haven't tried but if it were possible to daisy-chain a VPN through two or more ssh sessions that would be great and if your gnome setup could somehow facilitate that, that would make things even more interesting.
