NetworkManager on Fedora 7
It seems that there's a problem with NM on F7 when using WPA. My wireless network uses WPA2-Personal, with AES encryption. However when I try to connect to it on F7 using NM I don't get those options to choose from; it only offers WPA Personal and type of Automatic or AES-CCMP (whatever that might be) Is the problem with my driver? Or with NM? Or with Fedora? Any pointers of where to start looking would be greatly appreciated. Currently I'm without wireless until I can find a solution.

Awesome! You might want to look at an email recently sent about a new API for VPNs to see if it would also work for openswan.

nm-openswan is alive again!
Hi, Just a quick post to inform anyone who cares, that I've finished my employment transition, re-created my development environment and I've re-started work on the openswan vpn plugin. I've made two design changes to allow for multiple concurrent vpn connections (in future releases) as it will be required for my new job. I'll post again when I've got a tar ball for others to test. If anyone feels inclined to help with the effort (which is mainly bug fixing at this point), feel free to contact me.

That may not solve your problem, but it's the first place I would look. Network Manager acts funny when the distro tries to do it's own specific configuration to any of the network interfaces, and it works the best when it's left alone.

I tried to install the current svn, but it did not work for some reason (no idea what reason). I found the patch (http://mail.gnome.org/archives/networkmanager-list/2006-July/msg00034.html) that introduces LEAP into NM, but it does not work with my source anyway since it is far too huge. I hope it work anyway. Sorry and regards, Tomas ___ NetworkManager-list mailing list NetworkManager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list

I've just rebuilt NM 0.6.5 with the Ubuntu patch. It *has* increased the signal strength reported by NM, but I don't think it's done so correctly - it's now reporting 100% strength for every access point listed (compared to the 65% reported by gnome's network monitor applet). Despite that, I'll leave the patch in place. I've had quite a few problems maintaining a connection to my access point lately, and this can hardly make things any worse.

I've actually seen *positive* dBm values reported by the drivers before, so yeah, not very good.

Wired network unavailable
Hi, I use NetworkManager (on Ubuntu Feisty) to connect to wireless networks and everything runs pretty fine. However, when i plug in a ethernet cable in my laptop, the wired network is always unavailable in NetworkManager. If i restart my system the wired connection is available though. What can i do to solve this? This is my /etc/network/interfaces: auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto eth0 #wired interface auto eth1 #wireless interface Regards, Jeroen ___ NetworkManager-list mailing list NetworkManager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
