It doesn't actually matter if the one that's assigned to the wired interface is there or not, but I'm not using iftab, so my interfaces come up randomly, and as long as neither is in /etc/network/interfaces everything is working with NM (this is a recent improvement - for the last two months wireless hasn't worked with NM & Edgy). The word on the NM list is that you're right - it should work with an interface that specifies _only_ "inet dhcp" (but it doesn't for me), but it should also work with no mention of those interfaces at all. -- derek ___ NetworkManager-list mailing list NetworkManager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list

Re: NM doesn't recognize my connection!
Whoops, does it? Ignore me then. If you can get it to see your wired connection, you'd know it was a driver issue?

Re: NM doesn't recognize my connection!
Tim Hicks' version of /etc/network/interfaces directly contradicts the advice in the wiki to comment out or delete everything but:auto loiface lo inet loopbackSo, I am one confused newbie :-( As it is, I cannot connect wirelessly to any access point. I am writing this on my laptop with eth0 connected directly to the LAN port of my WRT54g router. My D-Link DWL-650+ seems not to be working anymore. So, my problems go WAY beyon getting NM working - I have to get wireless networking working the way it was before I started futzing around with Network Manager and the interfaces file.

Re: NM doesn't recognize my connection!
Don't totally remove them; NM won't see any interfaces to use. I'm using Ubuntu 6.06.1, my /etc/network/interfaces contains: auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp auto eth1 iface eth1 inet dhcp (eth1 being my wireless card) and NM sees both and works fine. - tim On 10/5/06, Jeff Schallenberg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > OK, I can edit the /etc/network/interfaces file. > > It now contains only the lines: > > auto lo > iface lo inet loopback > > But this results in wlan0 and eth0 not being configured in Network Settings. > So I can't connect to anything, either wired (eth0) or wireless (wlan0). > > And the NM icon still proclaims (rightly) "No Network Connection" and > displays the little red exclamation point. > > (If I enable the interfaces in Network Settings, that creates new entries in > the /etc/network/interfaces file for eth0 and wlan0). > > Please help me get Network Manager working with my D-Link DWL-650+ and > Ubuntu 6.06! > > - Jeff > > On 10/2/06, Dan Williams < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On Sun, 2006-10-01 at 23:06 -0400, Jeff Schallenberg wrote: > > > Network Manager doesn't recognize my wireless connections. > > > > > > I am using a D-Link DWL-650+ (Texas Instruments ACX-100). > > > > What version of this driver, where did you get it from, and does it > > actually work with Wireless Extensions?

Re: NM doesn't recognize my connection!
OK, I can edit the /etc/network/interfaces file.It now contains only the lines:auto loiface lo inet loopbackBut this results in wlan0 and eth0 not being configured in Network Settings. So I can't connect to anything, either wired (eth0) or wireless (wlan0). And the NM icon still proclaims (rightly) "No Network Connection" and displays the little red exclamation point.(If I enable the interfaces in Network Settings, that creates new entries in the /etc/network/interfaces file for eth0 and wlan0). Please help me get Network Manager working with my D-Link DWL-650+ and Ubuntu 6.06!- JeffOn 10/2/06, Dan Williams < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:On Sun, 2006-10-01 at 23:06 -0400, Jeff Schallenberg wrote: > Network Manager doesn't recognize my wireless connections.>> I am using a D-Link DWL-650+ (Texas Instruments ACX-100).What version of this driver, where did you get it from, and does itactually work with Wireless Extensions?
