ModemManager API review

2008-11-03 Thread Marcel Holtmann
Hi guys, so during PlumbersConf Dan asked me to take a look at the ModemManager API and finally I got around it and have some initial comments. I wasn't able to actually use it to make data connections from my testing script, but initial results were kinda nice. So the first thing that dr

Cannot list wireless networks

2008-11-03 Thread fREW Schmidt
Ok, so I got networkmanager up and running and I can't see any networks listed in the add new connection screen. I am using knetworkmanager as an interface, but I presume that it's a lower level issue, so I'll post the output to nm-tool here: FrewSchmidt2 [8158] % nm-tool NetworkManager Tool St
