Re: NetworkManager, Wireless and Fedora FC4
Very interesting. Here it is: ** (process:3268): CRITICAL **: nm_vpnc_config_write: assertion 'num_passwords = 2' failed /usr/sbin/vpnc: missing IPSec gatway address ** (process:3267): WARNING **:(): vpnc exited with error code 1 I checked at the configuration of the profile has a Gateway, a Group Name, and the optional override of the user name. I entered the group password and password of course. So I am not sure why it thinks there is no gateway. My company does not allow pings to the gateway apparently though the name looks correctI did a traceroute.

Re: NetworkManager, Wireless and Fedora FC4
Very interesting. SELinux does tube NetworkManager under the latest version (was that a problem with dhcdbd?) Anyhow, I am able to connect successfully. I have a question on VPNC. It is really cool to have it right in the NM menu under GNOME. Unfortunately I get the following the following message: "The VPN service said: The VPN login failed because the VPN program could not be started." Was I supposed to install the Cisco VPN code which installs a VPN service or is there something I need to do to get it started? I looked at the man vpnc but nothing jumped out at me... NOTE that originally the path was incorrect so I fixed it to add /usr/sbin... what command in what path does it use to bring up the VPN client?

Re: NetworkManager, Wireless and Fedora FC4
Hmm I did a chkconfig --add dhcdbd It clearly tries to get the address but even when I reboot with the ethernet plugged in, it does not setup routing or dhcp properly. Any other hints?

Re: NetworkManager, Wireless and Fedora FC4
Well I am both encouraged and stuck. NetworkManager was working but without the VPNC, so I upgraded to the versions as per: http://people.redhat.com/davidz/nm-vpnc2/ When upgrading, it complained that I needed dhcdbd, so I got and installed dhcdbd-1.6-1.rpm. When I rebooted, logged in under gnome and ran "/usr/libexec/nm-applet" it looks great. It detects the other networks in the neighborhood and mine. The problem is that it doesn't do dhcp client and setup routing. I have even tried doing a "pull down" from the applet and clicking on the wireless networks to connect. NOTE the wired ethernet does not work either. I am totally hosed other than manually setting up the routes and assigned a fixed ip address.. and resolv.conf. I suspect that it was the dhcdbd package that did it but any suggestions are appreciated. If necessary I can reinstall FC4 as I want a set of steps that works cleanly without wondering as I often do with Linux (yes well after 2 days it works but I wonder what I did...?)

Re: NetworkManager, Wireless and Fedora FC4
I have FC4 and wanted to get the latest functionality. So installed dchcpbd and upgraded to the latest NewtorkManager packages and vpnc2 below. Unfortunately NetworkManagerInfo no longer exists, and I am not sure how to bring up the task bar icon under Gnome. Any hints?

Re: NetworkManager, Wireless and Fedora FC4
So would you recommend updating to a newer version? The NetworkManagerInfo does bring up the icon.. which is really great. I was able to connect just fine. I also installed the vpnc from the extras but don't see it on the taskbar icon. Ray P.S. - This is very promising!!!

NetworkManager, Wireless and Fedora FC4
One of the biggest pains with the Redhat line is the weak support for wireless (even a very old version of Knoppix automatically detects and sets up cards). It appears that there is a new app to fix it: http://people.redhat.com/dcbw/NetworkManager I also see it referenced in Clemson's HOWTO: http://www.ces.clemson.edu/linux/nm.shtml I was excited. I installed FC4 from scratch. I noticed that NetworkManager was installed but NetworkManager and NetworkManager Dispatcher were not running. Also noticed that FC4 seems to detect my Aironet PCI in my Thinkpad T42P. Iwconfig shows it. It even detected the SSID of my Linksys which temporarily had broadcast set to on. The problem is that it does not have an address and there is no cool icon on the task bar in GNOME. I did notice in KDE that there is a applet for Wireless network monitor. So I started the two services (NetworkManager and NetworkManager Dispatcher). I still see no applet on the task bar nor is it listed in the possible applets. NetworkManager-Gnome as well as NetworkManager appears to already be installed. I even did a YUM update (yum install NetworkManager NetworkManager-gnome) just to make sure I had the latest and rebooted. Still no taskbar icon. The Clemson help page mentions nm-applet, but I can't seem to find the file, nor am I able to find "Startup Programs tab in the gnome-session-properties application" in the FC4 GNOME menus. Any help would be appreciated. Again I want to make so that I use as much built in as possible and avoid other packages and hacks unless needed to support a particular card (e.g, Cisco or Intel Wireless such as IPW2200).. I did look and see that the Cisco ACU appears to be old and may not apply to this particular PCI card. I am not sure the model as even WindowsXP does not indicate anything more than Aironet PCI.
