NetworkManager IPv4 routes API changes
Hi, To accommodate custom routes, I've made the following changes to the D-Bus API for the IPv4 setting: - There is a new 'ignore-auto-routes' (BOOL) item that when set will ignore routes returned from DHCP or VPN servers - The 'ignore-dhcp-dns' item has been renamed 'ignore-auto-dns' - The 'routes' item is now an array of 4-member uint32 tuples; the new 4th member is 'metric' - The IP4Config object exported by each Device object while the device is active has a new 'routes' member that follows the same format as the 'routes' member of the IP4Config setting Also, the 'vpn' setting's 'routes' member was removed, since that member is superceded by the ipv4 'routes' member. These should be the last major planned D-Bus API changes for 0.7. Dan [the libnm-glib libnm-util C APIs have also been updated to reflect these changes] ___ NetworkManager-list mailing list NetworkManager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list

Does the DHCP server return a gateway, and is that gateway in the same subnet as the assigned IP address?

no default route is added
Running the latest svn snapshots of networkmanager/applet on F9. NetworkManager 3897 Nm-Applet 824 Wired connection is established without any issues however, no default route is added. i.e. I need to run manually "route add default gw x.x.x.x" If I however run dhclient eth0 it adds the gateway correctly, backing out of latest releases of NM back to svn3675 and route is added when eth0 connects. ___ NetworkManager-list mailing list NetworkManager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list

Any idea where the PolicyKit .pc files are? For example, I've got: /usr/lib/pkgconfig/polkit-dbus.pc /usr/lib/pkgconfig/polkit-grant.pc /usr/lib/pkgconfig/polkit.pc but yours may be installed in /usr/share/pkgconfig or whatever. The best way to figure out is to list the files in your PolicyKit devel package that you've installed (or if you haven't installed the devel package for PK, do that!), and look for the location of .pc files. Let me know where any are. Dan ___ NetworkManager-list mailing list NetworkManager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list

I think version 0.7 of Network Manager will have > much better integrated for modems To be fair, 0.6.x does have _some_ support for modems, but that basically just has menu items that call out to ifup. Since, of course, ifup is usually a binary or shellscript, you don't get any feedback because ifup wasn't mean to give feedback in any way except on the command line. That's the whole problem with the badly integrated dial-up support in 0.6.x. We've got a much better PPP framework in 0.7. To support dial-up, we'd need to create some settings for modems that might include "modem scripts" and such that we pass to pppd for use with chat. We've got most of the infrastructure, but the problems are mainly user-interface issues and how to integrate random modem scripts, since the world of dial-up is a lot more varied than GSM or CDMA. Dial-up won't hit 0.7 and it's further back than Bluetooth support, but I don't think it would be too hard if somebody wanted to pick it up.
