We were on holiday this last week in the US so the response is going to be a bit slow. I'll follow up in the bug report, but note that one of the issues you noted is already fixed in Alexander's PPAs, the one about DSL connections always failing. The "Insufficient privilieges" issue is a PolicyKit problem that we need to work through too and the one I'm most interested in. Does doing what this guy did help? http://blogs.gnome.org/happyaron/2009/11/27/getting-networkmanager-work-with-pppoe-connection-on-ubuntu-9-10/ If so, that points further to PolicyKit configuration issues.

I threw up a page last week on debugging NM:
http://live.gnome.org/NetworkManager/Debugging
see especially the bits about NM and wpa_supplicant debugging (Debugging
Wifi Connections). Logs from NM and the supplicant would greatly help
in figuring the issue out.
Also, what driver and kernel version do you have?

Possibly not; but something that's been on my list for a long time has been to make NM just try harder and only request new secrets as a last resort. Like if there's only one AP in the area that NM could possibly connect to, and it fails, try again. If that fails, wait a bit and try again. If that fails, wait a bit longer and try again. Same for ethernet. Basically, the idea originally was that your password was wrong and you should re-enter it. That was valid in 2005, but is no longer really valid. These days the password is usually correct and the driver or connection is just shitty. If the password actually isnt' correct, there are better ways of handling this, and it's something we need to enhance wpa_supplicant for so we can actually propagate the "your password is wrong" error back up to the user in a meaningful way.

We need to make sure the device is listed in 77-mm-zte-port-types.rules with the correct port. The port #s there were taken from the ZTE windows drivers, so if this is a newer device we may need to just add it.

Unstable connectivity
Dear all,
I've been using NM for a long time on (open)SUSE, but dispite it's
growing maturity I really get fed up of it's unstable behavior.
Actually, I am experiencing a really unstable connection on my
university's open network. Access is controlled by web
authentification, but this should not affect the connectivity at all.
My windows and every other computer connects (almost) flawless,
problem seems really to be nested in NM. It detects the network, but
either it cannot connect ("configuring interface..." then aborts) or
it connects for a short time only and disconnects while surfing.
Well, it is very difficult to debug NM, so it you need specific
information please tell me how to acces it.

Quentin

tap device support (for iphone)?
Hi, I'm working on a userspace driver for the iphone's tethering functionality via USB, which I've reverse engineered (my carrier allows tethering - this isn't a jailbroken iPhone). After a bit of setup, this ends up basically just bridging a tap device (userspace L2 ethernet) to the appropriate USB pipes. I have this working, and can run dhclient on the tap interface manually, however I'm having trouble getting NetworkManager to recognise the device. Even if I call the interface 'eth1' rather than 'iphone0' NM (NetworkManager-0.7.996-6.git20091021.fc12.x86_64 from F12) logs: NetworkManager: device_creator(): /sys/devices/virtual/net/eth1: couldn't determine device driver; ignoring... which is sort of correct, since there isn't a kernel driver for it. What I'd like to do is have the iphone interface made available to NM, but at a lower priority than ethernet or wifi interfaces, ideally with the 'mobile broadband' icon appearing in the applet, and without DHCP running unless the interface is the top choice (I don't want to send data over the mobile interface unless we have to, due to cost). There may later be a way to get a signal strength out of the interface, but for the moment the only status messages I can decode are the linkup/linkdown toggles (which my code currently ignores) Is there any way to do this? I took a look at ModemManager, but that looks like its designed around serial interfaces, and the iPhone presents as ethernet.

NetworkManager and domain names
I use NetworkManager with three's mobile broadband. I have just found out that it is not able to obtain a domain name with dhcpcd. Any ideas how I can force NetworkManager into getting a domain name from three's DHCP servers? Thanks for any advice given!

Saying NetworkManager about active connection
Hello everybody! To connect to the Internet I use device, which is not yet supported by NetworkManager. But I like NetworkManager and use it to connect to wireless/wired networks. So, when I am connecting to the Internet, I have to kill NetworkManager, connect to the Internet, change "Work offline" flag in Firefox and restart applications, waiting for the network dbus notifications (such as Pidgin). How can I tell NetworkManager that the connection is already established by another application? So, it will not generate empty resolv.conf file, all applications will know, that there is the Internet connections. ___ NetworkManager-list mailing list NetworkManager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
