Re: one time passwords
David Braun wrote: Hi, Network Manager doesn't handle one time passwords on VPN connections too well. I'm not too familiar with the various VPNs but Cisco uses two passwords, a user and a group password. In my case the user password comes from a token card and is only good once. NM very nicely saves both in the keyring. The problem is that it re-uses the user password when I start a new session. This always fails. Is there any way to save only the group password and not the user password? Hi David, I wrote a patch to fix this. It's available here: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=363918 CVS gatekeepers, any words on merging this patch in ? -denis ___ NetworkManager-list mailing list NetworkManager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
problem applying Atheros patch
Some time ago I wrote the list about using Network Manager with atheros
/ madwifi driver and the signal strength reporting problem with the
driver. Even though it is not supposed to make a difference, NM
periodically drops connection and I have been told that others in this
position have seen better results after patching.
Last time I posted, I was pointed to the patches posted here:
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/networkmanager-list/2006-January/msg00141.html
Since I'm kind of a Noob, it took me a while to fine out what I'm supposed to
do with a patch.
I am using Network Manager on Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy) with Atheros chipset. NM
version is 0.6.3.
At the point of applying the patch, i get the following output from the patch
command:

I stopped at this point. I really don't want to carry on building the code if
the patch won't work. Any
thoughts?
Thanks for all thoughts,

Weird nm-applet behavior.
What is described below has happened to me at least twice. I asked about it on this list and got no real assistance. Can anyone guess why this would happen? The person who posted below was using FC6 and I was was using FC5 if that is important. 2/ NetworkManager has started to claim that it has successfully connected to a wired network. This is weird as the computer isn't connected to a wired network. All network access is through a PCI wireless card. Still works fine. It just thinks it's the wrong kind of network. ^ -- Aaron Konstam [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ NetworkManager-list mailing list NetworkManager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
NetworkManager and rtl8180 on debian etch
I'm trying to get NetworkManager-kde working with my wireless card (Linksys WPC11 v.4 / rtl8180 chipset) knetworkmanager can now detect the card, scan for networks, and prompt for a wep key if needed. However, when trying to connect to any wireless network (encrypted or not) it stalls at 28%: Activation Stage: Configuring device. Here's a paste of dmesg: IEEE802.11: Associating with belkin54g IEEE802.11: Stopping scan IEEE802.11: Sending authentication request IEEE802.11: Received authentication response IEEE802.11: Sending association request IEEE802.11: Received association response IEEE802.11: Successfully associated rtl8180: Joining the BSS ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): wlan0: link becomes ready ...after about a minute, it resets the card and repeats the above. The card+driver work ok, and can connect to unencrypted and wep-encrypted networks, using debian's /etc/network/interfaces and ifconfig. (I commented out most of /etc/network/interfaces (except loopback lo) so that NetworkManager can work on debian; I read somewhere that debian modified networkmanager so as not to touch interfaces listed in /etc/network/interfaces -- and indeed, prior to doing the commenting, networkmanager could not see the interfaces at all) If it's relevant: I'm using kernel 2.6.18, with the (free) rtl-wifi driver. I recently wrote a Debian entry for their FAQ: http://rtl-wifi.sourceforge.net/wiki/FAQ#Debian Thanks! ~David. ___ NetworkManager-list mailing list NetworkManager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
