Re: nm-connection-editor working only as root
Actually, three problems remain ;-). 1. I've rebooted and reloged in several times, but I cannot save a connection because it complaints about insufficient privileges. (I get a pop-up message that says Connection add failed, Insufficient privileges). I have logged with kdm (or gdm) and have a local session: ramon@Bufo:~$ ck-list-sessions Session1: unix-user = '1000' realname = 'ramon diaz-uriarte' seat = 'Seat1' session-type = '' active = TRUE x11-display = ':0' x11-display-device = '/dev/tty7' display-device = '' remote-host-name = '' is-local = TRUE on-since = '2011-10-23T16:29:00.632372Z' login-session-id = '4294967295' 2. There is the problem of not being able to access my previously defined connections (versions 0.8.1). They must be somewhere, but the new versions do not seem to be able to find them. 3. Finally, connections saved using, say, gksudo nm-connection-editor are stored under /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections with passwords, etc, as plain text. Sure, they are only readable to root, but ssn't this a potential problem? If I remember correctly, with previous versions, you could only access connections (and their passwords) after entering your password via keyring. Best, R.

Otherwise the PolicyKit rules used by NM won't work. Login with gdm does work, but only partially. I can now add and edit connections as non-root (ck-list-sessions now lists two local sessions). But the long list of wireless connections I had defined (prior to 0.9) is not there. Is there anyway to get those back? As well, can I get the PolicyKit rules to work with other login managers? I use wdm, but the trick of adding exec ck-launch-session xmonad at the end of my .xinitrc does not seem to work. Thanks, R.

Trying to understand a kernel error
Last night, I tried using wifi from the comfortinn I am staying at for the week, and I repeatedly received a kernel error: :WARNING: at drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl-core.c:482 iwl_check_rxon_cmd+0x21 1/0x21f [iwlagn]() Actually, looking at the respective line of code, it seems the module is complaining that channel number 6 is not a valid channel number... Now here are the problems related to network manager: 1. I have no way of aborting the connection attempt. In fact now when I'm in the hotel I have to have the wifi switched off otherwise it automatically tries to connect to comfortinn, and generates the error repeatedly, blocking me from doing anything else. 2. I'm not sure if the problem is a kernel bug, or network manager is passing invalid parameters. There seems to be no way to open the connection in with the gnome interface to network manager. I can only open the connection options for connections I'm actively connected to. Is there a file on disk somewhere I can access, or an alternate UI? BTW. This problem seems related to the settings used for comfort inn, as I have never had problems connecting to any other wifi network.

Re: Trying to understand a kernel error
I suppose I should mention the actual message the kernel is putting in the warning: :Invalid RXON (0x40), channel 6 I'm not sure what RXON means... I'm only assuming this is setting the channel number to 6, but it occurs to me that could be an invalid assumption.

Probably best to persue this via kernel development lists actually, it's
probably more of a kernel driver bug than an NM bug. But some things
that come to mind: perhaps the AP's 802.11d IE is telling your card that
it cannot use some channels; often APs get this wrong. Second, if this
happens generally, it could be rfkill related. But actually, your
problem is apparently this block:
if ((rxon-flags (RXON_FLG_CCK_MSK | RXON_FLG_SHORT_SLOT_MSK))
== (RXON_FLG_CCK_MSK | RXON_FLG_SHORT_SLOT_MSK)) {
IWL_WARN(priv, CCK and short slot\n);

which is much more a kernel driver issue than an NM issue... (0x40 = bit 7)

Re: Trying to understand a kernel error
OK. In the mean time, is there a way to keep the network manager from trying
to connect to this network, other than using my airport mode switch?

Re: Trouble setting VPN for specific IP via NetworkManager
I've noticed similar behavior using vpnc-based vpn's that doesn't setup routes quite right. It adds the prefixes negotiated for routes by the server, but it still insists on repointing a default route at the tun interface as well, breaking split-tunneling. I keep forgetting to spam the list asking about this, thanks for the reminder. :) Can NM not explicitly repoint the default route to a tunnel please? You only want this when the vpn server sends an explicit default, but for split tunneling, it needs to be versatile and only add the prefixes wanted, leaving the default at the original gateway. You can remove and add routes manually every time, it's more or less what I do to override nm's bad behavior, but vpnc doesn't use ppp interfaces. Not sure why that is complicating for you other than the fact the ppp interface Try route add default dev ppp0 without a gw addy? PPP doesn't use gateways per se. -mb On 10/23/2011 02:33 PM, Mohan Sfo wrote: Hello all, I apologize for asking such an elementary question on this list. Thanks for your help.
