Re: Wireless - properties popup after a few failed retries
Yeah, thats pretty annoying thing when you are in a city looking for a hotspot. Instead of popping up settings it should probably just show notification which would pop up settings page.

Re: Newbie question
They used to be there, indeed. Try to look through older versions in the repository. I have no idea if it will give any results though. And anyway, 0.8 will probably be dropped quite soon, and new api is alot better. On Friday 08 July 2011 13:12:36 David Lambert wrote: Alternatively are there any examples/tutorials for version 0.8?

Re: NM utils in Python?
You can use any C function in python natively with CDLL module. No need for rewriting anything. Hope it helps.

This time I need something like 'nm_utils_ip4_netmask_to_prefix()', but there is are many other very useful functions in libnm-util-nm-utils. If there's no way how to use them in Python it might be great to change it. Have a nm-utils Python module written in C? I could do something for it but I have no experience with writing Python modules in C so it would take quite a long time. Thanks a lot in advance for any advice.

Re: How to Test NetworkManager 0.9
David,
I'm a gentoo user too, and I was thinking maybe we could cooperate on this
thing. For example, I have 2 nice ebuilds that compile NM and applet from the
source tree unpacked somewhere in your system. This way you do not have to
bother with dangling files and you can always see what's installed. Both are
attached.
Don't forget to run ebuild ... digest before installing.
And do not put those to portage tree directly, just run ebuild, this way they
will not get erased upon next emerge --sync.
If you have any preliminary data on supplicant interface, I'd be happy to try
it too ASAP!
Thank you,
Alex

Hi all, now posting from my laptop with NM 0.9 finally!
Thanks Dan for pointing me in the direction of the new DBus interface
for wpa_supplicant.
Lamarque, I'd like to know if I could reach you through private e-mail
to clarify some stuff before documenting this process as I think I did
some extra work that was not needed (at least not in Gentoo-based
distros).
Thanks again.

Re: Automagically restart wifi connection
What kind of connection loss do you have? Can you still ping the access point for example? Is there any error in system log or dmesg?

Re: Trouble with privileges on dev version of NM
Sorry to bring it up again, but I had to go through the whole code of NM to find the root of this problem, and it seems that it has nothing to do with NM itself, but rather with interaction between NM and wpa-supplicant. Can anyone recall any trouble like that in there? My knowlege of WPA supplicant code is very limited, therefore I can not really debug this problem Thank you, Alex. On Wednesday 15 June 2011 11:32:00 Jos Collin wrote: Alex, In gentoo the same is replaced by /etc/conf.d/net file. The possibility is that the NM conflicts with the network settings stored in your system. You can try the same with /etc/conf.d/net 3. Maybe it is relevant that the connections you configure disappear after logout completely... There is no such thing. The connections that is created by a user will be stored as a user setting and will not be visible to other users. You can select Available to all users otherwise. The connections created as a system setting will be available to all users but can be modified only by the root. Happy Hacking, Jos Collin Well, There are two problems with your proposal: 1. There is no /etc/networks/interfaces file in gentoo (why would that be?). There is /etc/networks though, and it looked like this: # /etc/networks # # This file describes a number of netname-to-adress # mappings for the TCP/IP subsytem. It is mostly # used at boot time, when no name servers are running. # loopback127.0.0.0 link-local 169.254.0.0 But it has no effect on NM whatsoever. 2. It appears to be unable to scan networks only, but if I would supply the ESSID it will connect. 3. Maybe it is relevant that the connections you configure disappear after logout completely... I think there is some breakage in privileges associated with what NM can and can not do, but I can not find anything... Alex.
