Re: Problems with NM initial setup on FC6
Hi Dan,
Thanks for the response. After a few more reboots and restoration of
the eth1 device in the Network Configuration tool I was able to get it up
and running.
Best Regards,
jon

Hello,
I am trying to set up Network Manager for the first time. Here is
a sequence of events I have gone through:
What version of NetworkManager do you have installed?
rpm -qv NetworkManager
should tell you.
1) Enabled Network Manager by starting the service in /etc/init.d
2) Clicked on the icon to see a list of SSIDs
3) Clicked on the desired SSID
4) Entered the WPA key
5) The icon went through its thinking phase, and then it gave me the
red circle with the line through it
6) I thought that there might be a collision between the eth1 device
set up with the Network Configuration Manager so i delete the eth1
entry in the devices list (but did not delete it in the hardware tab)
7) I clicked on the Network Manager icon again, entered the WPA key.
8) I was prompted for a key ring manager password. I entered a
password
9) Network Manager told me that was successfully connected to the
desired SSID
10) However, I couldn't access any websites
11) I rebooted my computer
12) I restarted the Network Manager service
13) I tried to access the desired SSID
14) I am never able to connect. I just get the red circle with the
line through it. Here is my /var/log/messages log:
We might need to try a straight wpa_supplicant run here to ensure that
your driver is working properly. NetworkManager uses wpa_supplicant
underneath to control the wireless card, so going directly to
wpa_supplicant can tell us whether NM is the problem or not. To do
that, you'll want to 'service NetworkManager stop' and then construct a
wpa_supplicant config file in /tmp that will look like this:
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=1
fast_reauth=1
network={
ssid=my-ssid
scan_ssid=1
proto=WPA RSN
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
psk=my passphrase
}
Of course, replace my-ssid with your SSID and my passphrase with your
actual WPA passphrase. Then, as root, run wpa_supplicant like so:
/usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant -ddd -i wlan0 -c /tmp/wpa_supplicant.conf -D wext
Let that run for at least a minute or two, and then copy the output and
mail it to me directly as it may have private details about your network
in it.
