However this didn't solve the problem, the only difference I'm seeing is that the nm-applet icon that showed no connection before (static icon) is now an animated icon as if it were trying to connect but couldn't. Again clicking the 'Wired network' radio button doesn't do anything. The relevant section of /var/log/messages is this, it's full of suspicious items from NetworkManager, I'm pretty sure something is screwed up with gconf connections and it's not the fault of NetworkManager itself. As I've said ev

My enabled repos are: fedora, fedora-updates, livna. It looks like the updates have been cleared from the mirrors since F8 has been unsupported for a year already. You have to play roulette to find a mirror that has them, and I got lucky when I tried: http://mirror.steadfast.net/fedora//updates/8/ None of the other mirrors have F-8 anymore. Assuming you aren't running a 64-bit install (if you are, replace i386 with x86_64 as appropriate), install this RPM with "rpm -Uhv ": http://mirror.steadfast.net/fedora//updates/8/i386.newkey/fedora-release-8-6.transition.noarch.rpm Then update your fedora.repo and fedora-updates.repo files to point to the steadfast.net mirror. The sections should look like this: [updates] name=Fedora $releasever - $basearch - Updates failovermethod=priority baseurl=http://mirror.steadfast.net/fedora//updates/$releasever/$basearch.newkey/ #mirrorlist= (and the same for fedora.repo) And then 'yum upgrade NetworkManager*" Dan > > which you can update to with 'yum upgrade NetworkManager*'.

Nov 17 02:29:48 localhost NetworkManager: 'connection' setting not present. I don't know what the cause of that could be off the top of my head, but you said you're running svn3030, which is from "Sat Oct 27 2007". That's really, really old :) The latest NetworkManager available for Fedora 8 is: NetworkManager-0.7.0-0.12.svn4326.fc8 which you can update to with 'yum upgrade NetworkManager*'. It's highly likely that new build from over a year later will fix your problem. If you don't want to update, you could try to remove all the connections you can find from nm-connection-editor. Those log messages mean something is providing a bad connection profile to NetworkManager.

Right, because the connection wasn't made through NetworkManager, and thus the information about the connection isn't available to NEtworkManager because dhclient wasn't run with the right callout script, etc. Can you grab /var/log/messages for me? That will show what NM thinks is going on. It may be a carrier change race that was fixed in F10 and higher and the logs might help us figure that out.

Thanks for the answer, so nm-tool says this: NetworkManager Tool State: disconnected - Device: eth0 Type: Wired Driver:sky2 Active:no HW Address:00:1A:80:49:CF:34 Capabilities: Supported: yes Carrier Detect: yes Speed: 100 Mb/s Wired Settings - Device: wlan0 Type: 802.11 Wireless Driver:iwl4965 Active:no HW Address:00:13:E8:87:8E:4F Capabilities: Supported: yes Wireless Settings WEP Encryption: yes WPA Encryption: yes WPA2 Encryption: yes Wireless Access Points I noticed the line 'State: disconnected' however right now I'm connected, I'm sending this email :) Again I had to manually 'dhclient eth0' which results in a working connection, only nm-applet thinks that somehow there is no wired network connection.

nm-applet stopped connecting to wired network
Hi folks, I have a super weird situation on my Sony VAIO VGN-FZ240E: I have Fedora 8 which ships network manager 0.7.0-0.5.svn3030 and until yesterday everything has been working perfectly well, nm-applet connected to both wired and wireless networks without a problem. And the strange thing is that I didn't do anything, no new installs, no upgrades, absolutely nothing (that I know of). But suddenly since yesterday nm-applet wouldn't connect to the wired network. The icon shows the 2 monitors with the red dot in the lower right corner with the white cross on it, showing there is no network connection. When I click the icon the wired network label and radio button is enabled on the pop-up menu, I can click it, but nothing happens. Strangely though if I do a 'dhclient eth0' the wired network comes up and the connection is perfectly okay. However the nm-applet icon is still in the 'no connection' mode. This happens both at work and at home. I just can't figure out what can be going on. Any ideas? For reference, here is the output from 'lspci | grep Ethernet': 08:00.0 Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8036 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller (rev 16) Here is 'ifconfig eth0' eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1A:80:49:CF:34 inet addr:157.181.170.115 Bcast:157.181.170.127 Mask:255.255.255.128 inet6 addr: fe80::21a:80ff:fe49:cf34/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:1025 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:751 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:476598 (465.4 KiB) TX bytes:125296 (122.3 KiB) Interrupt:16 And the last couple of lines from 'dmesg': ACPI: PCI Interrupt :00:02.0[A] -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16 [drm] Initialized drm 1.1.0 20060810 [drm] Initialized i915 1.6.0 20060119 on minor 0 eth0: no IPv6 routers present wlan0: no IPv6 routers present iwl4965: Radio Frequency Kill Switch is On: Kill switch must be turned off for wireless networking to work. sky2 eth0: disabling interface sky2 eth0: enabling interface ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready sky2 eth0: Link is up at 100 Mbps, full duplex, flow control rx ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): eth0: link becomes ready eth0: no IPv6 routers present iwl4965: Error sending REPLY_STATISTICS_CMD: time out after 500ms.
