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 **: 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.

Will fix later today. David ___ NetworkManager-list mailing list NetworkManager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
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...?)

Ray Hi Ray, I had the same problem last week on one computer with FC4. You can find it on this list in 16.jun.2005. And on the other hand, I have it working on another computer. I don't know what went wrong or how to debug this, but you are not the only one who had this.

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!!!

FC4 includes a slightly older branch from April, with a lot of backports but no VPN or external DHCP client. 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. The program you are looking for, /usr/bin/NetworkManagerInfo, needs to be executed when your gnome session starts up. Run gnome-session-properties and add the program to your Startup Programs tab, or if you have automatic session-saving turned on, just run /usr/bin/NetworkManagerInfo from a terminal and it will add itself to your session automatically. HEAD uses /usr/libexec/nm-applet, but not FC4. I know, the docs could use some work (any takers?)
