Did you check whether it is the same when using GNOME and nm-applet? No, I didn't since I very much prefer KDE. But considering the fact that killing the applet only and restarting it solves the issue, I would assume that the problem is caused by this very applet and not the underlying NetworkManager. This bug is totally reproducible on KDE and anybody with a laptop and GNOME running could try if its also the same here. I will try to have a look at it later but currently I have no time, sorry. Restoring NEEDINFO Daniel, this looks like a duplicate of bug #216495. Also, see bug #207899 and bug #216558 for details. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 216495 *** Yes, you could be right! I find a lot of the experienced behavior in the mentioned bugreports! Let's now see how the beta2 will perform :) Could you attach your NetworkManager logs (/var/log/NetworkManager) here please and add information roughly when you added the ipw2200 module back? Also, can you please just try to run nm-applet even if you prefer KDE, to debug this issue? From your comment #2, it actually sounds more like an applet problem if killing it and then restarting makes things work - it shows that NetworkManager knows about the device and the applet didn't catch the signal when it was added. Request #6 I will definitely try to fulfill this evening and send the log. I am extremely busy at work, so please be patient. #7 I have tried yesterday but I couldn't get YAST to fire up the Software Management Module. After >2hrs syncing time with errors in between I gave up on installing the gnome applet from factory... That Package Management system is horribly broken, I tell you. Also it seems to me that there is no laptop to your availability at Novell or SuSE? The NetworkManager and its applets haven't really improved a lot since 10.1 albeit the apparent bugs... I promise that as soon as I win a Lotto Jackpot I will donate one so that you can do some basic testing yourselves, too. Daniel, no need to get offensive. If you would like to see this issue fixed, please go ahead without such comments. [ We have enough hardware, please spend your money otherwise. However, if the price is not money but a time machine, we are happy to accept it. ] First of all, you should be equally -- if not more -- interested in squashing bugs :) Secondly, if this sounded so offensive to you, then pls accept my apologies, it wasn't meant to be so. (But you must understand that I am seriously doubting the readiness of the package management system. Networkmanager works flawless in comparison to that.) You will get the log tonight and I will download beta1-CDs in order to test with the gnome applet. And yes, most of the time it seems to me that this is NOT a problem of NM itself but only the applet. Is there a CLI to the NM so that I could verify? BTW a time machine is welcome here, too. I am doing my best to hunt down stuff but I can not spend (a lot of) my time on testing during office hrs. |
