One of the newer features that really improve the nm-applet is the edit wireless networks dialog. However, I think it can be improved as shown in this mockup: http://img364.imageshack.us/my.php?image=networkmanageruo5.png . Good ideas.

Haven't found a way to use it on wireless. My Acer has a broadcom wireless card too, and it works. You need a very recent kernel, 2.6.24-r2 or later. The B43 driver is included in this kernel, but you need firmware. To get the firmware, have a look here: http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#fw-b43-old I would like to see something similar to SounBlaster drivers for soundcards for the wireless cards (a standard or model for WiFi hardware that can be reproduced and used the label compatible).

RE: Connecting with a Mobile
What is the device? With my Huewi USB dongle and the new connection editor all I had to do to get it working was to edit the connection to add the APN into the config. All the rest with my provider was the default. With a system similar to DHCP, it would not be necessary to add the APN also. This would improve PPP and the easiness of the connection. In ADSL modems it is plug and surf (and remember Huawei E220 and similar USB cell modems are broadband modems like ADSL).

EoPPP
I have seen information about PPPoE, but I would prefer EoPPP, this is, to call in some way, the same easy to install and connect information than the used for Ethernet (plug and surf). For Huawei E220 and similar modems (USB ppp modems) , one could use a USB to Ethernet converter. Just an idea... ;-) Regards. ___ NetworkManager-list mailing list NetworkManager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list

I'm not going to add Bluetooth support to NetworkManager. At least that is not the plan right now. However there are some couple of weeks reserved for working on NetworkManager itself and thus if it's later decided I should work on Bluetooth support, I will. If I can suggest it, I would like also this Bluetooth support. This would be great !

You can't really know that, even if you know all the details about the phone, as even a phone with 3G, GPRS and all the whizzbang might not have contracts to allow that (As I can vouch for with the latest Sony Ericsson I got from Ericsson having a pay-as-you-go SIM card with 5 quid credit). Really I know I can use the HSPA in the Vodafone network. I use it in my Huawei E220 modem also.

It works for GSM and CDMA. As far as I know, GSM and CDMA are instances of certain classes of cellular networks, but GSM and CDMA themselves are not used globally. If I 'm right in this, it would make sense to internally name this support something generic, like 2GCellular and 3GCellular and then the GUI can sort out whether it refers to it as CDMA in EN_us or 3G in EN_gb or UMTS in de. The flipside is users doing a CDMA wtf? when they try to use their cellular card. HSDPA would be included in the 3GCellular name? (it is 3.5 G and HSUPA is 3.75 G). Logically, the speed is bigger in 3.5 than in 3G (one can see changing the modem lights from green to blue when a 3.5G connection is stablished).

RE: Kernel drivers (newbie questions)
-Mensaje original- De: Dan Williams Enviado el: miércoles, 20 de febrero de 2008 17:23 Para: PEDRO MACANAS VALVERDE CC: networkmanager-list@gnome.org Asunto: Re: Kernel drivers (newbie questions) If you really mean WRTXXX, that seems like an access point. So it's not driven by anything in Linux. What actually happens is that the kernel drives the wireless client adapter in your computer, and an application like NetworkManager will tell the wireless client adapter to connect to your WRTXXX access point. Really is a WIFI Linksys WRTXXX router/USB card Each wireless adapter on your system has an interface name like eth1 or wlan0. You can see these by running 'iwconfig' from a terminal. It is somewhat hard to know exactly what interface name matches up with what _physical_ hardware that you have plugged into your machine if you have more than one network adapter. I think about a router and/or a USB card. Does network manager manages my PPP internet connection ?. Can I use it to link the PPP Internet access to a WiFi network ?. NetworkManager will manage mobile broadband connections, which use PPP to establish internet connectivity over cellular networks. It doesn't yet support Bluetooth DUN or serial dialup, though that's planned and not too hard. Good. Because one can use a bluetooth cell phone MODEM (this is cell phone with an integrated MODEM, as nowadays the majority of the cell phones do). I have a Conceptronic 200 USB Bluetooth card also to connect to my cell phone (although I prefer the Huawei ·E220 - included in the Linux Kernel - because it is HSDPA, this is, 3.5G broadband). If you are connecting to the internet over Wifi, No nowadays. Really I would share my Huawei E220 modem Internet connection with other computers at home (home network). you shouldn't need PPP The Internet connection is PPP (Huawei E220 USB modem: cell telephony modem). at all, since it's only used with cable modems, some ADSL USB modems, dialup modems, Yes, Huawei E220 is really a dialup MODEM. bluetooth DUN, and mobile broadband. Ethernet and Wifi don't need PPP. I think there would be an automatic tool for this (share my PPP connection ) and a how-to. Thank you.
