Bonding wifi and wired
Hi. I just wanted to reach out to ask what's NetworkManager team's position on allowing bonding of wifi and wired interface? Are there any plans to support this? If not - it is due to no one being interested implementing it or because this feature would go against some large plans/ideology? I was able to make it work with NM on client side and OpenWRT on router side. Router side is easy. On NM side there is some manual config editing (which is fine) and some kinds that make day-to-day life less enjoyable than it should (like inability to manually connect to bonded wifi). SO I was curious - would patches fixing those smaller kinks be acceptable at all or is it something that NM team is just not interested in? Thanks! -- Martynov Nikolay.

Re: NetworkManager dispatchers
I have had absolutely no luck today either and I really need help with this. I am configuring and compiling the 1.0.10 like this: ./configure --localstatedir=/var --with-systemdsystemunitdir=no make make install I have tried with ./configure --localstatedir=/var --disable-ppp --with-systemdsystemunitdir=no and same problem. I am using Debian Wheezy with MM 1.4.12 and NM 1.0.10. MM works flawlessly but I cannot seem to use NM to set up a connection (PPP). Any ideas what I'm not doing right? Anyone?
