Re: network manager 0.9 error out on adding interface ([nm-supplicant-interface.c:570] interface_add_cb())

NM-0.9 requires a newer wpa_supplicant. I am not sure what is the minimum version, I use wpa_supplicant-0.7.3. Yes, minimum required version is 0.7.3, yet if compiled by hand you also need to specify you want to compile it with new D-Bus API. I'd recommend going with package manager versions already configured for that when possible. David E.

The digging I did I found a few things but could not get ActivateConnection to work. Hi, I haven't looked into the code but please note that Fedora 15 uses Network Manager 0.9 which has a different D-Bus API, and is incompatible with previous versions of NM, so that may be affecting your code.

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 Awesome, I'll follow this up with you through private e-mail before we get too Off-Topic, and maybe we can find ways to make it easier to do tests for NM 0.9. Thanks! David E.

Thanks for the follow up on this issue, I was just about to write about my findings last weekend: Indeed, I was debugging the execution of nm-tool, the D-Bus calls from NM and those from wpa_supplicant and as far as I can tell, they are not talking to each other the right way, so I guessed I had to find a patch that fixes the communication between them two (what you mention is the new D-Bus interface). I also stumbled upon a similar reply on this list[0] but I wasn't able to determine if that patch is currently included in Gentoo's revision of wpa_supplicant as I had some other stuff to finish yesterday. I'll find that out today about that patch and fix the D-Bus issue which should get me up and running with NM 0.9. Thanks again.

Send the output of lspci please (or lsusb if your card is usb). Just to add some precision to my previous post, I use Sabayon Linux. Furthermore, as I can't remove the NetworkManager package (it's a dependency for many other packages), what I do is I compile the NM 0.9 code and install that over the old NM files (0.8.2) which could mean I'm messing up the configuration. I'm now downloading a Fedora 15 LiveCD, which I understand includes the NM 0.9 package just to discard configuration issues. About the wireless card, this is lspci's output for my wireless card: Network controler: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g (rev 01) I've tried with both the b43 driver and Broadcom's one, no luck. I also saw some results saying that for some Acer laptops, removing the acer_wmi module did the trick, so I removed dell_wmi module (and dell_laptop too), still no luck. I'll let you know if it works fine on F15. Thanks again. David E. Narváez ___ networkmanager-list mailing list networkmanager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list

There could be a problem with WiFi driver or wireless could be disabled by rfkill switch (either hardware or software). Can you show the output of 'nm- tool' and 'rfkill list' commands? Also attach /var/log/messages or /var/log/daemon.log, or whatever file contains NetworkManager logs in your distro. After that, try a manual wifi scan: iw dev wlan0 scan trigger or if your card is really old: iwlist wlan0 scan and see what happens. If that's working, the next thing we need to do is enable wpa_supplicant debugging to see why the scan requests are getting rejected by the driver. Thanks for the replies, I had an awfully busy night and didn't have much time to hack NM but just wanted to give quick updates on the commands above: * nm-tool shows no wireless networks * rfkill shows everything is unblocked * I can scan wireless networks with iwlist * This is something relevant I found on messages: (wlan0): device state change: unavailable - disconnected (reason 'supplicant-available') I am not able to copy the exact outputs right now (they are in the laptop, without wireless), but that should give us a bit of an idea of what the situation looks like. I searched around and found some strikingly similar bugs in Fedora 15[0][1], which uses NM 0.9 so my issue could be along those lines. I didn't have time to read through all of them, but I'll try that tomorrow. If needed, I could still post the output of the commands tomorrow to help debugging Thanks againf or the help. David E.

The one in master branch only talsk to NM-0.8. Yes, that I know. The question was if I needed Plasma NM nm09 installed in order for NM to list wireless networks available. You said nm-tool did not show any wireless network, then NM-0.9 is not able to list wireless and so is Plasma NM. Are you sure your wireless card is working and enabled? You can test if it is enabled in NM using: nmcli nm rfkill list My wireless card is surely working (I just have to resort to NM 0.8.2 and Plasma NM from my repository and everything works fine up to the bugs I'm trying to escape from) but I haven't tried those two commands to ensure wireless networking is enabled. But I guess this answer means I should be able to list available wireless networks from NM 0.9 alone, right? That is, before installing any NM Cllient. That would finally answer my question above.

How to Test NetworkManager 0.9
Hi, My ultimate goal is to test KDE's NetworkManager client which is now being developed for NM 0.9. I fetched NM's git code and compiled and installed the master branch over the binaries that my distro has for NM which is version 0.8.2. At that point, I have no KDE NetworkManager installed. I then run nm-tool and I can't see any available wireless network. Am I missing any step to get NM 0.9 working? I'm not even sure if I should be able to list available wireless networks without installing KDE's Network Management code, should I? Thanks. David E.
