Broken OpenVPN

So I upgraded to the stuff in F9 updates-testing and it broke NM-OpenVPN. Particularly, the problem is routing. Routing before the upgrade: $ route -n | grep tun 10.254.0.1 10.254.0.9 255.255.255.255 UGH 0 00 tun0 10.254.0.9 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH0

ip4 setting method name changes

Hi, As of svn 3882, I've changed two of the IPv4 'method' names: dhcp -> auto autoip -> link-local Since both VPN and PPP connections can have IPv4 settings, the term 'dhcp' doesn't really make sense here. Dan ___ NetworkManager-list mailing list Ne

That would be cool. I use about 4 different networks routinely. 2 of them use vanilla /etc/hosts or wins. I resort to just memorizing ip numbers.and some times -- since hostnames are distinct -- I just put everything in my /etc/hosts It would be cool if the VPN stuff had this too -- I

Thanks for the hint. However, I need a static IP to have access to a NFS file server. DHCP server is a hardware device (router/WIFI) and I have no idea how to make it keep the same IP address for the laptop. Besides, I thought this was exactly NetworkManager designed for. When I need to connect my

Wouldent a better solution be to configure your DHCP server to give the laptop the correct address rather than use static IP address on the laptop. To do this create a subnet clause in dhcpd.conf with a: hardware ethernet 0:0:c0:5d:bd:95; Clause in it. Then you dont need to change anything when y

Support for adding /etc/hosts entries

2008-08-01 Thread Michal Sawicz
It would be great if it would be possible to add hosts entries to /etc/hosts based on the network we're connected to. I'd see it as additional tab in the network configuration. What do you think about that? Shouldn't be too difficult and really usable. Cheers -- Michal Sawicz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]

It looks like I did terrible job explaining _why_ I wrote ModemManager. Let me try again. Where were we before ModemManager. The current state in NetworkManager 0.7 is that we have the absolute minimum support for modems to claim that we support modems. There are a couple of advanced solution out
