NM's 802.1x support for wired networks?

2008-11-25 Thread Lai, Weiwen 
Hi,

Does NM 0.7 support 802.1x authentication with wired networks? I see a
lot of discussions on wireless networks, but would be interested in
getting it to work on my wired network. I cannot seem to get it to work
for my Fedora 9 release.

Thanks,
Weiwen

RE: v6 only networks broken?

2008-11-24 Thread Lai, Weiwen 


Does nm currently support both stateful and stateless ipv6 address auto
configurations? Mentioned below is that the ipv6 infratructure is
already done for nm, I wonder what is missing in ipv6 implementation
with nm 0.7 RC2 release? I am mostly interested in wired networks.

What is the expected time frame for this full ipv6 feature delivery?

Thanks,
Weiwen

 I am not sure if someelse else at IETF already raised this, but NM 
 does not work on IPv6 only networks. After association on the wifi, it

 disassociates with could not obtain an address. We suspect because 
 it did not get an ipv4 ip address via dhcp, though we did get an ipv6 
 address.

Correct; NM won't (yet) try to get IPv6 addresses, though we have some
infrastructure to handle IPv6 via LL, router advertisements, and DHCP
+/- information only mode, it's not all there.  Full IPv6 support will
be added in the near future and is a major target for post 0.7
development.

NM should not stomp on IPv6 LL addresses that get assigned to the
interface however.  If it does, it's a bug.
