We're planning on doing a 0.7.1 pretty soon which will contain this fix. Any chance that when you do, you can make the tarball name consistent with the contents directory, like most other packages out there? The applet tarball is network-manager-applet-0.7.0, but the contents are in nm-applet-0.7.0. I know it's a minor thing, but by breaking convention, it makes writing an automated build just that little bit more complicated, where the directory can't be predicted from the package name...

Confusing wireless-tools error message
Hi Dan, the error message for the WEXT headers check is really confusing: checking Linux Wireless Extensions = 18... no configure: error: wireless-tools = 28pre9 not installed or not functional So on Debian/Ubunut it doesn't really help to install wireless-tools. You have to install libiw-dev instead. I double checked with Fedora 10 and I don't see how installing the package wireless-tools will help their either.

Some problems on Gentoo
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I've got a few small problems with fresh installation of NetworkManager 0.7.0 on Gentoo system. 1) When you install NM and run it for the first time, it won't find any existing global connections (no gentoo-specific plugin, and none are defined at this point in keyfile plugin) and will reset your hostname to localhost.localdomain (before you even run X). I think it should always check if hostname isn't defined in /etc/conf.d/hostname (I think this location is gentoo-specific) or even `hostnmame` before falling back to localhost.localdomain (even if you don't have _any_ active connection). [NetworkManager] info Setting system hostname to 'localhost.localdomain' (no default device) 2) when your Desktop UI (gnome in my case) finish loading (and nm-applet start) and you activate first available connection - NM will change your hostname to corresponding revdns or /etc/hosts entry. At this point gnome stops working. You can't run ANY program. I don't think it's a good idea to update your hostname when you're under Desktop UI - only system-settings should be able to do it and not nm-applet. At this point I still don't understand decision behind dynamic name changing based on IP - would appreciate any information. When you try to run anything from the gnome terminal (which needs to be opened before network kicks in) you get: $ nm-connection-editor No protocol specified (nm-connection-editor:7141): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0.0 You need to disable networking before you are able to open any program. 3) I granted my user policykit rights to enable NM system settings, but all options are still grey out. When i run connection-editor from the console I get: ** (nm-connection-editor:7245): WARNING **: Could not retrieve can-modify: Failed to execute program /usr/libexec/dbus-daemon-launch-helper: Success (nm-connection-editor:7245): Gtk-WARNING **: GtkSpinButton: setting an adjustment with non-zero page size is deprecated my user belongs to the group which allows you to query nm's dbus interface. Any ideas about 3) ?

Any ideas about 3) ? It seems dbus-1.2.3 acts pretty strangely. When I installed NM and restarted dbus to pick up NM config files it didn't work (dbus couldn't execute any nm specific services - nm-system-connection and wpa_supplicant). I had to downgrade to dbus 1.2.1, restart it, upgrade to 1.2.3 and now everything works fine. It seems there was a change in dbus system.conf file between 1.2.1 and 1.2.2 (not sure how it affects my case). Anyway, 3) is gone now. Any thoughts about 1) and 2)?
