NetworkManager (NO PATCH) w/ madwifi + wext patch WORKS

2006-03-30 Thread Eli Criffield
I'm using NetworkManager unpatched from todays (20060330) cvs with madwifi from current svn 1486 with the patch from this web ticket http://madwifi.org/ticket/462 And all is well. No need for Roberts patch, It works with the standard wext. I had to make two changes for NetworkManager to work

NM fails to obtain list in FC5 with orinoco_usb driver

2006-03-30 Thread Kevin Updegrove
I'm running FC5 on a Compaq Evo N610C with a W200 wireless adapter (orinoco-usb).  With NM turned off, I have no problems connecting wirelessly to an unsecured AP which is broadcasting the SSID.  After treading the FedoraForum, it seems that almost everyone was able to connect with these parameters

Re: Router nameserver issue

2006-03-30 Thread Eli Criffield
Unless i'm mistaking network manager doesn't have any settings for this. I believe version 2 is planing on having settings such as nameserver overrides and such. The real problem is your router, i would bet there is a way to configure it to send out the correct nameservers in its DHCP reply. That

FC5, wireless, NetworkManager--a discovery

2006-03-30 Thread Matthew Saltzman
I've seen some discussion on fedora-list and networkmanager-list related to issues with wireless and NM in FC5, and I have an experience to relate that I think might be worth investigating. My wireless and NM have been much more stable after acting on it. This is a bit long, so bear with me.

Router nameserver issue

2006-03-30 Thread Nil Gradisnik
