I added the network-manager ppa to my sources and ran update, I only got 4 files, network-manager and 3 other libs, is that expected on an intrepid install? If so I will do some testing with my 169G tonight and let you know.

Also does anybody know what the status of the ppp bug with ms- domainserver response from wireless modems, resulting in dud DNS entries is? Discussion seems to have gone dark on this. Try ppp 2.4.5 which was recently released, there are some fixes in this area that may help this problem out. I can't 100% confirm that 2.4.5 fixes it, but I used to periodically get the bogus DNS servers with T-Mobile and I haven't had the issue since I backported a few patches: http://git.ozlabs.org/?p=ppp.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=2e09ef6886bbf00bc5a9a641110f801e372ffde6 http://git.ozlabs.org/?p=ppp.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=f8191bf07df374f119a07910a79217c7618f113e are the two I'm using.

I understand the need for multiple lease files, based on network.
My concern was the two different directories being used. I was trying to
solve a network problem, and couldn't understand why my lease files were
several months old... Then I discovered that NM was putting lease files
somewhere else.
Persistence across boots would require some cooperation with the DHCP server,
which, in my case, may give me a new IP each time I boot. (It's some 3rd
party, Windows based DHCP/DNS solution, which I don't manage)
Moved back to /var/lib/dhclient/ in r4267.

Hi -
I've noticed that the native Fedora ifup-eth script puts its lease files

/var/lib/dhclient/dhclient-${DEVICE}.leases
but, NetworkManager puts the lease files into
/var/run/dhclient-${DEVICE}.lease
Correct. NM uses different lease files because in the near future,
we'll want to use separate lease files for _each connection_. Since
many machines move around, it's pretty pointless to use the same lease
file for your home AP as for your work AP.
What happens right now is that you'll get a lease from work, dhclient
will cache it, and then when you come home it'll try to renew that work
lease at home, leading to DHCP lag. That's bad.
So even if the lease files _did_ stay in the same place as dhclient puts
them, you'd have a lot more lease files anyway. But, once we modify NM
to handle leasefile-per-connection, we should probably move them back
to /var/lib/dhclient just to they are persistent.
I assume you're worried about persistence of the lease across boots?

Strange VPN problems
I've never been able to get NM to make a successful VPN connection, and I finally have some meaningful (I hope) logs etc. I can get a working connection using pppd with pptp on the command line, but not using NM. It seems that the NM plugin sets up the connection slightly differently. This command line works (executed as root): /usr/sbin/pppd pty '/usr/sbin/pptp server.my.domain --nolaunchpppd' nodetach lock usepeerdns noipdefault refuse-pap refuse-chap refuse-mschap require-mppe nobsdcomp nodeflate name rick (auth is handled by chap-secrets in normal way) The server is another Linux box, so the connection is served by pppd + pptp on the remote end as well. In particular the server log shows the server responding to client PPTP echo requests at 1 minute intervals: pptpd[2289]: CTRL: Received PPTP Control Message (type: 5) pptpd[2289]: CTRL: Made a ECHO RPLY packet pptpd[2289]: CTRL: I wrote 20 bytes to the client. pptpd[2289]: CTRL: Sent packet to client ... etc When I create the connection with NM, no PPTP echo messages are received, instead the server attempts to send the echoes, but gets no response. This kind of thing appears after about 2 minutes: pptpd[31784]: CTRL: Sending ECHO REQ id 1 pptpd[31784]: CTRL: Made a ECHO REQ packet pptpd[31784]: CTRL: I wrote 16 bytes to the client. pptpd[31784]: CTRL: Sent packet to client pptpd[31784]: CTRL: EOF or bad error reading ctrl packet length. pptpd[31784]: CTRL: couldn't read packet header (exit) pptpd[31784]: CTRL: CTRL read failed pptpd[31784]: CTRL: Client 89.193.143.54 control connection finished pptpd[31784]: CTRL: Exiting now - connection gone. (Note this is not LCP echo - that's disabled already) NM appears to be setting up the connection differently, in a way that doesn't work - what's the difference? Is there anything I can do server-side to make it more friendly? I'm running the current PPA build of NM on Ubuntu Hardy 8.0.4. Has anything changed in this area in rc1? -- Rick ___ NetworkManager-list mailing list NetworkManager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list

WAN Ericsson F3507g
Hi, I just recently upgraded to the Lenovo W500 laptop which has a built-in Ericsson F2507g WAN card. Unfortunately I can't get this new card to work with NM because it needs to be turned on first. There is a thread about how to do this manually on Ubuntu: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=934013 My sim card doesn't require a password like the newer ones so this should be pretty simple. But I can't seem to make it work. I'm using the Ubuntu NM PPA. Any ideas?
