Description Vincent Untz 2008-02-26 21:01:12 UTC

Using up-to-date factory.

I have two interfaces: a wireless one (eth0), and a wired one (eth1). NM doesn't seem to be able to use the wired one. In nm-applet, I can't select anything about the wired interface. It seems to work well with wireless, though.

Here's a recent part of the NM log:

I'm having a similar problem, but if I copy the wired connection settings for gconf from an older installed Factory, it works.  It appears for me at least the "Auto Ethernet" profile is not being automatically generated.

I'm working on it right now, should be done pretty soon. It's a duplicate and there's more information why it's broken at https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=354981#c4
