I think they very likely have a tough job to do (I'm assuming you're talking about developers, not users). The "Ubuntu People" have to deal with a disproportionate amount of bugs that are not bugs from a population of people who do not RTFM whatsoever, so they are probably backlogged. As for users not reporting bugs, it's somewhat tough to decide whether a bug is a Ubuntu bug or not. I have bad USB problems with kernel 2.6.20, for example -- I'm really not sure WHO is responsible for that problem, and I guess the only way to find out is build a vanilla kernel that's compiled the way they have it. - -- _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ |Y#| | | |\/| | \ |\ | | |Ryan Novosielski - Systems Programmer III |$&| |__| | | |__/ | \| _| |[EMAIL PROTECTED] - 973/972.0922 (2-0922) \__/ Univ. of Med. and Dent.|IST/AST - NJMS Medical Science Bldg - C630 -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGIuERmb+gadEcsb4RAtnFAKCvyf6yC9ZBSsdTDpi+kKAABlh7CgCeNHA3 Je4k7IzNa+C8j93D6lJnG0A= =5peV -END PGP SIGNATURE- begin:vcard fn:Ryan Novosielski n:Novosielski;Ryan org:UMDNJ;IST/AST adr;dom:MSB C630;;185 South Orange Avenue;Newark;NJ;07103 email;internet:[EMAIL PROTECTED] title:Systems Programmer III tel;work:(973) 972-0922 tel;fax:(973) 972-7412 tel;pager:(866) 20-UMDNJ x-mozilla-html:FALSE version:2.1 end:vcard ___ NetworkManager-list mailing list NetworkManager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list

I can't control what drivers, and what _quality_ of drivers, Ubuntu puts in their kernel. The rt2500 driver apparently doesn't support WE-19 and above, which is the standard Linux method of configuring a card to support WPA. You'll note the use iwpriv commands in that bug report. If every driver used iwpriv commands, there would be 30 different ways to configure a card. That's just insane. So NetworkManager requires that a driver support WE-19 and above to use WPA. In any case, that's the requirement to show WPA support in the GUI. To connect successfully with WPA, the driver needs to work with wpa_supplicant and the wpa_supplicant WEXT driver. That means, of course, that the driver again must support WE-19 and above for WPA. wpa_supplicant is the standard Linux WPA supplicant.

Re: try icon is missing
DJA suggested you use KNetworkManager, if you're running KDE. If neither of these are found, that's why it's not working.

nm-openswan dev update - debugging properties library help needed
Hi all,
Just thought I should post a quick update, and post a request for help
at the same time.
I'm almost at 0.1a code level. I have several major bugs to fix before I
reach that milestone, but once reached, that will be first release.
NM Registers my new DBUS path for the openswan service on startup and
the nm-openswan-service handler appears to be stable (finally).
My first and biggest problem has to do with debugging shared libraries
with Anjuta/gdb: How do you do it?
I wrote my library to implement the UI to configure a connection, but
even though it builds no problem, it won't load for some reason...
The situation is this: when nm-vpn-properties loads, it parses my
service file (from /etc/NetworkManager/VPN) and
then tries to load /usr/local/lib/libnm-os-properties.so
but I get this nm_warning output:
Cannot open module '/usr/local/lib/libnm-os-properties'
--> yes I checked for type-o's and spelling mistakes ;)
--> I ran 'strace nm-vpn-properties' to find out what's failing, and it
does find the library and opens it succesfully:
brk(0x9599000) = 0x9599000
open("/etc/NetworkManager/VPN/nm-openswan-service.name",
O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 14
fstat64(14, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=220, ...}) = 0
read(14, "[VPN Connection]\nname=openswan\ns"..., 4096) = 220
read(14, "", 4096) = 0
close(14) = 0
stat64("/usr/local/lib/libnm-os-properties", 0xbfe45d4c) = -1 ENOENT (No
such file or directory)
stat64("/usr/local/lib/libnm-os-properties.so", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0755,
st_size=84578, ...}) = 0
open("/usr/local/lib/libnm-os-properties.so", O_RDONLY) = 14
read(14, "\177ELF\1\1\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\3\0\3\0\1\0\0\0\340 \0"...,
512) = 512
fstat64(14, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0755, st_size=84578, ...}) = 0
mmap2(NULL, 29652, PROT_READ|PROT_EXEC, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_DENYWRITE, 14,
0) = 0x4f6000
mmap2(0x4fd000, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE,
MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_FIXED|MAP_DENYWRITE, 14, 0x7) = 0x4fd000
^-> here's the problem I think... but that's as close as I can get.
My instincts tell me this is a memory allocation error where I'm not
initializing or declaring some var before I use it... but that would
come back to being able to debug my shared lib.
The mapped memory addresses seem kinda small to me compared with those
of the openvpn and vpnc shared libs loaded in the same stack trace.
Here's the rest of the relevant trace:
close(14) = 0
mprotect(0x4f6000, 28672, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE) = 0
munmap(0x4f6000, 29652) = 0
write(2, "\n** (nm-vpn-properties:7763): WA"..., 98
** (nm-vpn-properties:7763): WARNING **: Cannot open module
'/usr/local/lib/libnm-os-properties'
) = 98
So how can I debug my shared-lib and figure out why it's failing to load?
All help appreciated as I've been banging my head against the key-board
for days (soon time for a new one).
I've got everything else for basic functionality coded, building and
installing fine, but until I can define a connection, testing cannot
proceed.
If anyone has any suggestions, please send them asap before I go crazy
with this one ;)
Thanks,
Steve.
