I think so but not by itself. Take a look at whereami and build a script around with nm-dispatcher. I used to do this to determine what NFS mounts to use but now that I travel a lot less I stopped using it and I never used it with NM-Dispatcher but I can't think of a reason why it wouldn't work

Hi, I'm running networkmanager on my dell d820, under ubuntu edgy (nm packages are versioned as 0.6.3-2ubuntu6). It generally works pretty well, but it sometimes seems to take quite a while to rescan the environment for current networks. So for instance, if I hibernate, change locations, and res

Bring VPN up on connect?

2006-11-16 Thread Matthew Saltzman
Is it possible to bring a particular VPN up automatically when one connects to a particular ESSID? My campus is looking at requiring VPN access to local resources when connected to the local wireless net. If they do that, then it would be nice if NM could start the appropriate VPN client when

Hello, Thanks to you and to Darren for your answers. Can you make an educated guess at how much work it is likely to be to change the rtl818x driver to use WE-18 (is 18 the right number here?) I took a very quick look at the in-kernel (2.6.18) sources for the ipw2100 driver, and saw two funct

If you create scripts to launch these apps they can be launched via networkmanagerDispatcher. The dispatcher launches the scripts based on interface state. Some examples are available: http://www.darrenalbers.net/wiki/index.php?title=NetworkManagerScripts Thanks, Darren On 11/16/06, Neal Becke
