This might have been a bit misleading. What I wanted to say is, that I'm using kernel 2.6.24 and ipw2100. The bug itself seems to happen for other drivers too.

A very often requested feature in Debian). Another very annoying bug (which I encounter myself from time to time) are frequent disconnects followed by assertion failures (having ipw2100, kernel 2.6.24). http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=361207 And also (not sure if it's related to newer versions of wpa_supplicant, current version in Debian unstable is 0.6.1~git20071119) are failures to connect to WPA networks. The log often has failure messages like: couldn't connect to the supplicant. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=461932 Cheers, Michael -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth? signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ NetworkManager-list mailing list NetworkManager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list

Any bugs/issues you feel are super-important before a 0.6.6 release? I'd actually like to take a look at the SSID -> GConf hashing again because I've been getting some reports of crashing there, but I'd like to start a 0.6.6 RC phase by the middle of the month at least.

Stopping NetworkManager without taking the interface down.
Hi everyone, as NetworkManager (especially the 0.7 version) tries to be more than just a network configuration for the laptop, but also desktops and servers, there is one issue, that's currently suboptimal imho. That is, that NM always deconfigures the network interface when it is stopped. This is especially unfortunate, when you remotely administer machines and you have to restart NetworkManager (e.g. after installing a security update of NM. Rebooting is not ideal for servers...). That's why I think, it's an important feature for NetworkManager, to provide the option to not deconfigure a network interface on stop and ideally, on startup, recognize and pickup an already existing connection, without the need to reconfigure the device. The latter might be very hard to do for wireless interfaces, but for wired interfaces it should be possible (and most servers and workstations will have wired connections). Dan, Tambet, would it be possible to add such functionality to NetworkManager? Other opionions on this are very welcome.

Compiling gnome-common gets stack in a loop
Hi guys, This is my first e-mail to this mailing list! I tried to compile gnome-common after getting it from svn. I have ran make after ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr in macros2 folder but it gets stack in a loop and print this message on screen: make[1]: Warning: File `Makefile.am' has modification time 1.7e+04 s in the future /usr/share/aclocal/gob.m4:7: warning: underquoted definition of GOB_HOOK run info '(automake)Extending aclocal' or see http://sources.redhat.com/automake/automake.html#Extending-aclocal how I can fix it? there is some lines of compiling: #make make: Warning: File `Makefile.am' has modification time 1.5e+04 s in the future cd .. && make am--refresh make[1]: Entering directory `/root/gnome-common' make[1]: Warning: File `Makefile.am' has modification time 1.5e+04 s in the future cd . && /bin/sh /root/gnome-common/missing --run aclocal-1.9 /usr/share/aclocal/gob.m4:7: warning: underquoted definition of GOB_HOOK run info '(automake)Extending aclocal' or see http://sources.redhat.com/automake/automake.html#Extending-aclocal cd . && /bin/sh /root/gnome-common/missing --run automake-1.9 --gnu cd . && /bin/sh /root/gnome-common/missing --run autoconf /bin/sh ./config.status --recheck running CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/sh /bin/sh ./configure --enable-maintainer-mode --prefix=/usr --no-create --no-recursion checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking for gawk... gawk checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes configure: creating ./config.status /bin/sh ./config.status config.status: creating Makefile config.status: creating gnome-common.spec config.status: creating macros2/Makefile config.status: creating doc-build/Makefile config.status: creating doc-build/gnome-doc-common make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/gnome-common' make[1]: Entering directory `/root/gnome-common' make[1]: Warning: File `Makefile.am' has modification time 1.5e+04 s in the future cd . && /bin/sh /root/gnome-common/missing --run aclocal-1.9 /usr/share/aclocal/gob.m4:7: warning: underquoted definition of GOB_HOOK run info '(automake)Extending aclocal' or see http://sources.redhat.com/automake/automake.html#Extending-aclocal cd . && /bin/sh /root/gnome-common/missing --run automake-1.9 --gnu cd . && /bin/sh /root/gnome-common/missing --run autoconf /bin/sh ./config.status --recheck running CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/sh /bin/sh ./configure --enable-maintainer-mode --prefix=/usr --no-create --no-recursion checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking for gawk... gawk checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes configure: creating ./config.status /bin/sh ./config.status config.status: creating Makefile config.status: creating gnome-common.spec config.status: creating macros2/Makefile config.status: creating doc-build/Makefile config.status: creating doc-build/gnome-doc-common make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/gnome-common' make[1]: Entering directory `/root/gnome-common' make[1]: Warning: File `Makefile.am' has modification time 1.5e+04 s in the future cd . && /bin/sh /root/gnome-common/missing --run aclocal-1.9 /usr/share/aclocal/gob.m4:7: warning: underquoted definition of GOB_HOOK run info '(automake)Extending aclocal' or see http://sources.redhat.com/automake/automake.html#Extending-aclocal cd . && /bin/sh /root/gnome-common/missing --run automake-1.9 --gnu cd . && /bin/sh /root/gnome-common/missing --run autoconf /bin/sh ./config.status --recheck running CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/sh /bin/sh ./configure --enable-maintainer-mode --prefix=/usr --no-create --no-recursion checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking for gawk... gawk checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes configure: creating ./config.status /bin/sh ./config.status config.status: creating Makefile config.status: creating gnome-common.spec config.status: creating macros2/Makefile config.status: creating doc-build/Makefile config.status: creating doc-build/gnome-doc-common make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/gnome-common' make[1]: Entering directory `/root/gnome-common' make[1]: Warning: File `Makefile.am' has modification time 1.5e+04 s in the future cd . && /bin/sh /root/gnome-common/missing --run aclocal-1.9 /usr/share/aclocal/gob.m4:7: warning: underquoted definition of GOB_HOOK run info '(automake)Extending aclocal' or see http://sources.redhat.com/automake/automake.html#Extending-aclocal cd . && /bin/sh /root/gnome-common/missing --run automake-1.9 --gnu c
