If this is a bug in N-M, it would be great to get it fixed. i posted a bug a while ago when i had the problem.. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/566321 i don't have this hardware around anymore, so i really hope network-manager can handle that by now. IMHO most important in this context ist for network manager to offer an option to reset to default on DSL configuration.. since we don't have a wizard yet.. greetings ___ networkmanager-list mailing list networkmanager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
nm disabled by pppoeconf
hello list ;) here's something i need help with, perhaps somebody knows a viable solution in lucid!? network manager couldn't create a dsl connection on a modem/router device. so i used pppoeconf. pppoeconf handled everything with just confirming all the way through it's interactive configuration dialog. ever since the computer dials in to the internet properly. now i have new hardware and i want to use WLAN on the machine.. network manager doesn't show up on my lucid. when started from SystemPreferencesNetwork Connections, there are no default connections, no devices managed in network manager.. the help from here didn't work, since the problem seems to have a different matrix on lucid http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=822095 thanks for reading ___ networkmanager-list mailing list networkmanager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list

Am I correct to understand that you mean that the network manager icon doesn't show up in your panel? What happens when you run nm-applet from a terminal? Also, is the N-M daemon actually running? Try running status network-manager. If that says it's not running, try sudo start network-manager. As far as pppoeconf goes, I don't know much about it (or about PPPoE in general), but Google gives me the impression that it and N-M should be able to coexist. It sounds like /etc/network/interfaces is involved, and on Ubuntu (and many Debian-based distros in general), N-M is setup by default to ignore any devices that have been configured by /etc/network/interfaces. Thus I'm guessing that N-M is not going to manage your Ethernet device - which I think is what we want when using pppoeconf. However, WLAN devices should be unaffected. Perhaps you could post your /etc/network/interfaces? That might help figure out what's up. Hope that helps!
