RE: From ethernet to PPP Internet access

That is good. Huawei E220 and Vodafone uses PPP protocol (the Huawei E220
driver is included in the 2.6 Kernel also).

The development version of NetworkManager does have some support for GSM and
CDMA mobile broadband cards.

Re: [PATCH] NM DBUS api documentation build system

While I'd like to have always up to date documentation, I'm not sure I
like this. The patch you sent only removes the introspection XML we
currently have and adds some XSLT which I can't read (and thus
maintain). It'll make development easier only if someone actually
writes that documentation, just converting to more magic makes things
harder to understand. And again, I like having documentation as much
as anyone,  but since we have two developers in total (who are busy
with maintenance work for a lot of time), I personally would rather
write code. So if anyone wants to help with documentation, it could
live in a text file for now. When it has enough information, and if
Dan feels comfortable maintaining XSLT, I wouldn't have anything
against the proposed solution.

I must agree here. Something that generate the introspection is not
helpful at all. It is hard enough to keep external introspection XML
files in sync with the actual runtime introspection. Why should we have
another thing to maintain. If you could generate the introspection files
from within the source code, that is a different story. Something in
combination with Doxygen.

Wired NIC bridged through WLAN AP doesn't auto-connect

2008-02-05 Thread Steinar Bang
Platform: Intel Celeron,
  Ubuntu 7.10,
  linux-image-2.6.22-14-generic  2.6.22-14.51
  network-manager0.6.5-0ubuntu16.7.10.0
  network-manager-gnome  0.6.5-0ubuntu10

I have an ubuntu 7.10 machine that has a wired NIC.  This wired NIC is
connected to a WLAN that is set up for bridging with another AP
connected to my home LAN.

If I log into the Ubuntu machine, the nm-applet wired icon is displayed
with a white-x-on-red marking its disconnected state.  If I right click
the icon and select the Wired network (which is always initially
unchecked), the icon starts spinning, and eventually shows up as
connected. 

The wired NIC is set up as Roaming.

Does anyone have an idea why the Wired network isn't initially enabled
when logging in?

Does anyone have any theories?  Could it be because the connection is
through the bridged AP?  Could it be because the (presumably old) NIC on
the machine has a problem detecting a network connected state from the
AP?

Could it be because of a network manager setting?  I have googled and
read the logs, but I don't really know where the problem might be, so
I'm flailing about in the dark.

So... any hints, guesses, documentation pointers etc. are welcome!

Thanx!


- Steinar
