This has all been verified with Hardy. If the problem with my wireless network will go on until friday, I will be able to test this also with Intrepid.
Step 1: I connect to the house wireless network, which currently provides local access only, using NM 0.7 Step 2: Still using NM 0.7, I connect to a GSM network using a Vodafone modem. This network provides Internet access. Result: NM 0.7 is now connected to both Networks, the tray icon displays the "connected to wireless network" status. Actual result: NM is not able to understand if the network provides internet or local only access. Moreover, it uses the wireless network connection by default over the GSM one. The net result is that while the wireless network is activated, I cannot access the web (even if the system IS connected to the internet via GSM). This applies to all Ubuntu programs, from cli to graphical ones. Expected result: since only one of the two networks provides internet access, I would expect NM to understand which one does, and use that network to connect to the internet. E.g. under Windows Vista the connection manager is able to understand which networks provide internet access and which local only, and uses the right one. I hope it is sufficiently clear. :-) -- Network Manager 0.7 is unable to determine if the connection is local only or instead provides internet access https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/278488 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
