Mobile Broadband Provider Info patch updating a Nigerian Provider
Attached. The provider has introduced subscription plans, and adjusted billing for each of their access points accordingly. The patch adds the new access point, and properly labels the pay-as-you-go access point. The patch was made against an SVN checkout. I hope that is still okay. --- Fanen Ahua -my pic- Random Quote: Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened. -- Winston Churchill Index: serviceproviders.xml === --- serviceproviders.xml (revision 95) +++ serviceproviders.xml (working copy) @@ -2808,14 +2808,21 @@ passwordweb/password /provider provider - nameGlo-Ng/name + nameGlo PAYG/name gsm apnglosecure/apn /gsm usernamegprs/username passwordgprs/password - dns-/dns /provider + provider + nameGlo 3G Pack/name + gsm + apngloflat/apn + /gsm + usernameflat/username + passwordflat/password + /provider /country !-- Nicaragua -- ___ NetworkManager-list mailing list NetworkManager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list

So when we add the IPv6 tab, then what? :) Then, we can safely assume (at least for a few years afterwards) that if you want to configure IPv6, then you know what it means :) In any case, I think making the IPv4 tab the first one will eliminate confusion. dan signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part ___ NetworkManager-list mailing list NetworkManager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list

Re: Improving providers database
Hi Steven, I could help make a patch, but you need to specify what type of network this is. Is it GSM or CDMA? Additionally, if you wish to make a patch yourself, you could read: http://live.gnome.org/NetworkManager/MobileBroadband/ServiceProviders for instructions. picFanen Ahua Random quote: Swipple's Rule of Order: He who shouts the loudest has the floor.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] ModemManager (for GSM and CDMA)
Patch attached as promised. One of the entries Glo-Ng with APN glogwap does not work when connected to a PC (I think the traffic is routed through a proxy that only opens port 80), so I wonder what use it is in there.

nm-0.7 vs network-admin
Just a small puzzle I'm having a hard time resolving sanely. It has to do with wireless, and the new network-manager. Powering off the wireless device when you disable network-manager makes it rather impossible to use network-admin with your wireless device, at least on my Ubuntu Hardy system. Does anyone know how this could be worked around? Fanen Ahua Random quote: Truth has no special time of its own.

Re: Network Manager Wifi thoughts
I suppose the root dns servers retain static IPs? is it not possible to compare something to a hardcoded IP of a root dns server? Secondly, the captive portals I've come across (Microtik) don't really fake ping replies, I think they return valid errors (One says destination network forbidden). Also, the login machine usually lies on a machine on the same network as your computer so if it redirects you to a page, and that page happens to be in the same subnet as your IP, then you know you aren't connected to the Internet. Just guessing here though. Not my turf.

The issues you bring up are good, and I will continue to think about the problem and present ideas. A bit problem here is user trust issues ... A good example of this issue is the Firefox SSL self-signed-certificate I completely agree, if the user gets false positives anything more than 1 in 100 times then the functionality is detrimental as your burdened with extra code and ui complexity without any real benefit. Oh believe me when I say I understand this problem all too well. I'm not against it, I just need to see an implementation that doesn't have too many false-positives and doesn't have too many false negatives first. That may be possible, the main barriers we have are: 1) Captive Portals, 2) Proxies 3) VPNs (issue?) 4) Causing lots of traffic The big question I have is What does Vista do? I don't think it's worth looking at Vista, (and no not because it's windows) I don't believe it's worth looking at a flawed system (as you've pointed out) when the system is hidden and the problem should be solvable from first principles. In the end, it's certainly possible for an external tool ... I do believe that there is room for a research project which can test methods. But I strongly object to any formal project since it would complicate functionality, responsibility and make the NH project complacent in incorporating such functionality without significant want from core developers. Now an Idea I just had was a kind of DNS test which would look at 2 or 3 domains to see if any addresses come back (no dns) if the addresses are all the same (Captive Portals). I'm not very familar with proxies and vpns to have a clear idea of the results from those set ups. This may in fact be related to the Search Domains which windows has had for a long time but I can't be sure. Thoughts?

The gnome network admin tool, (at least in Ubuntu) allows you to disable
network manager from handling one network interface. Using that, you can
allow network-manager to manage one of the interfaces, then manually
configure the second interface.
Its important that they are in different subnets though, otherwise
things don't quite work.

Hello list,
I am using FC6 and NetworkManager 0.6.4-5
My laptop has an ethernet card and wifi. I am trying to connect
simultaneously to the wired and wireless nets, each one with different
subnets.
However, I don't know how to do this. As soon as I connect the cable,
NetworkManager disconnects the wireless net and tries to connect via
wired. I want the wired net to have a fixed IP address ('cause there is
no dhcp server on that subnet - by the way, it's a physically distinct net).
Any help ?
Thanks,
Pedro
