My distro stores the network config in /etc/conf.d/net. Without NetworkManager the config is read and used as expected, but with NetworkManager seems it is ignored. Is NetworkManager supposed to be able to read my network config from my distro config files? I thought NetworkManager configuration was independent from the distro config and should be configured separately. Iin fact, that's exactly what I was asking, how to configure it but from your words I deduce there is a backend which reads the files I use to configure the network in my distro. So now the question is, how I can find out if NetworkManager backend can find my dns settings from my distro config files?

Where to find network-manager source code?
Ubuntu 8.04 uses NM 0.6.6 and OpenSuse 11.0 uses NM 0.7 yet the latest source at http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/NetworkManager/ is 0.6.5. Where are they getting your source code from?

security selection via nm-applet
When I try to create a new wireless network connection using the nm-applet dialog, I get two different "Wireless Security" drop-down lists, depending on whether I use "Create New Wireless Network..." (4 options) or "Connect to Other Wireless Network...", then select "New..." at the "Connection" prompt (8 options). This looks like it comes from the security_combo_init() function in wireless-dialog.c, but I'm not sure why the options would be different... or even why there would be two different paths to create a new network. Would users be too confused if the menu simply said "Connect to Wireless Network..." ___ NetworkManager-list mailing list NetworkManager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
output from nm-tool
When I run "nm-tool", I get duplicate output for "Default". For example: - Device: eth0 - Type: Wired Driver:e1000e State: connected Default: yes Default: no - Device: wlan0 - Type: 802.11 Wireless Driver:iwl4965 State: connected Default: no Default: no It looks like the loop (r3758, nm-tool.c, line 230) might be iterating one too many times? ___ NetworkManager-list mailing list NetworkManager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list

I've added a "Disable Dead Peer Detection" option in 0.7 trunk. I'd take a patch that added it to 0.6.x if anyone comes up with one (even just in GConf), otherwise I'll get around to it at some point.

(I am no programmer - just a user...) I have found a workaround solution which might help at least the Ubuntu users affected by this issue. In ubuntu Bug #206673 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vpnc/+bug/206673 , Chris has made .deb packages of VPNC available on launchpadlibrarian.net that have the DPD timeout set to 0 by default. Installation on Ubuntu was easy, just replacing vpnc from the repositories by this version. This is a rough approach since it might cause conflicts with some VPN configurations that need DPD and the user has to enable it explicitely for these configurations; whereas it was enabled by default before. Nonetheless it solves my problem for the time being. regards Marc ___ NetworkManager-list mailing list NetworkManager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
"Unknown" security?
When I look at the "Connection Information" under the applet, my hardwired ethernet connection is listed as having "unknown" security. If I connect to an open wireless network, its security is shown as "none". Can someone explain the difference between "none" and "unknown"? Isn't it true that you could apply MAC filtering in either case, and NetworkManager wouldn't know that filtering was being applied?

[patch] Fix crash when connection settings aren't set
Hi,
If a service providing connections has aconnection without connection
settings NM crashes because the respective error doesn't get set. (And the
error
handling code assumes it is set)
