However, it seems like the graphical interfaces do not support vlan config yet. So we have to do it in /etc/NetworkManager ? Looking around on NM site and wiki, and the list archives, I did not find any Doc about how to configure VLAN connections. I even tried to look in the source, but I'm not an expert. Could you provide a sample config for VLAN config ? or I have to do it with dbus with some commands ? Thanks in advance, and for your work on NM!

The attached messages.log contains the end of the 2nd case and a normal operation (boot, activated, everything working well at this moment). In fact, I have no idea, what is going on and why these things happen. I did not see any segfault. Even, last night it was working all the night, but in the morning I had several issues. It is possible, the weather is not so good here nowadays, probably the mobile service provider kicks out from the network, I do not know. Could somebody check the logs, maybe you have more experiences. </pre> PongráczI 2012-05-23T13:07:23 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network.networkmanager.devel/21207 <pre>This series of patches adds bridging support to NM.

The window is entitled Secret, and it has a space to enter a password. But in fact it is impossible to write in the space provided, even if one clicks "Show password". I don't know what password is wanted, even if I could enter one. I find the only thing to do when this happens is to reboot the laptop. NM usually works OK after the reboot. </pre> Timothy Murphy 2012-05-23T09:02:00 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network.networkmanager.devel/21202 <pre> Dear Guys, We try to make a system, based on debian testing with MM 0.5.2, which is able to provide the following: it connect automatically to the mobile broadband network using ZTE or Huawei usb modems, it reconnects in any case, when the modem or the provider drops the connection, it builds up the openvpn channel via the mobile broadband when ppp0 interface is available and working well it can make it without any user interaction note: there is gnome, but lightdm, fluxbox, policykit, network-manager, modem-manager, nm-applet, nmcli.

[PATCH 2/4] whitespace fixup it was getting in my eyes all the time. [PATCH 3/4] move creation of applet_menu_item_create_device_item_helper to it's own helper this makes room for more complex widgets, at this stage everything looks the same. </pre> Niv Sardi 2012-05-21T23:03:44 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network.networkmanager.devel/21186 <pre> http://old.nabble.com/file/p33876035/kern.log kern.log http://old.nabble.com/file/p33876035/lshal.log lshal.log http://old.nabble.com/file/p33876035/m-tool.log m-tool.log http://old.nabble.com/file/p33876035/searchusb.log searchusb.log http://old.nabble.com/file/p33876035/syslog.log syslog.log http://old.nabble.com/file/p33876035/usb-info.txt usb-info.txt I have trouble connecting my modem through Network Manager.

However, the ISC DHCPv6 client incorrectly assumes IA_NA assignments come with a implicit prefix length of /64, and passes this incorrect information on to NetworkManager, which adds this prefix as a on-link route. This will cause communication failures in certain networks, for example NBMA networks, and in organisations using longer prefix lengths than /64 for their LANs. For more discussion regarding this problem, see RFC 5942 section 5. This patch makes NM ignore the false prefix length attribute provided by the ISC DHCPv6 client, instead setting it to a /128 (single address) in all cases. Note that this does not preclude an on-link prefix from being added by NM if it is being advertised in the correct way, i.e., by including a Prefix Information Option with the L flag set in an ICMPv6 Router Advertisement.

Strangely /etc/xdg/autostart/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1.desktop contains OnlyShowIn=GNOME;XFCE;Unity; so the PolicyKit “wrapper” is not started for other window managers or desktop environments than listed there. This has the effect, that nm-applet does not work fully. Besides that this problem should probably be fixed directly in PolicyKit, could nm-applet warn, if the PolicyKit stuff is not setup correctly, sot that the user has a clue what to look for. Currently only the following message is displayed in a box. Failed to add/activate connection: (32) Insufficient privileges. Lastly, or am I mistaken and other window manager can provide a PolicyKit alternative so they should not rely on `polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1.desktop`?

It seems the settings in /etc/sysconfig/wpa_supplicant are ignored if wpa_supplicant is managed by the NetworkManager,but I don't see any option to pass the -D&lt;driver&gt; option to wpa_supplicant.

The wifi-utils-nl80211 code does not have implementations for mesh_get_channel/mesh_set_channel and this breaks mesh networking. Adding these methods under nl80211 is a little painful. For now, force use of wifi-utils-wext to restore mesh networking. --- src/nm-device-olpc-mesh.c | 16 +++++++++++++--- 1 file changed, 13 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) I have written a set_mesh_channel implementation for nl80211 which I think should work. However, get_mesh_channel is harder: reading of the active channel in nl80211 is done by reading scan results and looking for the network that is marked as connected. The mesh device doesn't return scan results. I think we could improve libertas to return always return a fake scan result on the mesh device (with the expected SSID and channel details), and also make it report itself as always connected. Until I find a moment to try that approach, is this patch acceptable? </pre> Daniel Drake 2012-05-16T17:51:03 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network.networkmanager.devel/21144 <pre>Hi, I am trying to get NMIP4Config object after device becomes NetworkManager.DeviceState.ACTIVATED but it is not available immediately.

I've installed the latest NetworkManager from git, and I'm trying to replicate this setup with NM. I run Arch, which installed a NetworkManager.conf that uses the keyfile plugin. There doesn't seem to be any documentation describing the use of anything but the ifcfg-rh plugin - can this even be expected to work? I have a bonding connection set up with type=bond, and a bond section in its config: [bond] interface-name=bond0 mode=active-backup But nm-cli reports the mode as balance-rr. Similarly, the slave devices have connections set up with master=bond0 and slave-type=bond.
