Currently have ubuntu 11.04 installed and I must say that the gnome interface for NM is a breeze-just fill up my username and password and thats it.
I have been trying to get online in kubuntu(don't really like unity, and have wanted to use kubuntu for a long time)....but try as i might knetworkmanager just doesn't seem to be up to the job.
Or maye I'm doing something wrong...
I am running openSuse 11.2 on Acer Turion64 x2.
My wireless card is "Atheros Communications Inc. AR2413 802.11bg NIC (rev 01)".
For some reason, networkmanager can not connect to network at all.
In NetworkManager log, it is showing "kernel: [ 28.002378] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready".
I try to find out why it can not connect to network by using knetworkmanager.
Since two week the knetworkmanager needs 3 minutes after login to start and connect. On an other computer (x86) it works fine. What could be the reason for this? I use opensuse 11.3 x64 and yes i need the network manager. Ifup isn't practicable for me.I have read in some thread to start the networkmanager at boot time and as root, but i don't think this is necessary.
View 9 Replies View RelatedSince my update to OpenSuse 11.2 knetworkmanager refuses to connect to WEP enabled networks (worked fine with knetworkmanager 11.1). I am sure that I use the correct password and I tried on 3 different networks. The manager is connecting to open networks and WAP protected networks without problems. I saw on other forums that there were similar problems with previous versions of networkmanager. But I could not find a solution for my problem.
View 9 Replies View RelatedEven though I am not new to Suse, I am still very inexperienced, especially when it comes to wireless. I am running Suse Linux 11.3 and I am having problems connecting to my wireless. My network controller is a RaLink RT2500 802.11g Cardbus/mini-PCI (rev 01). I am recieving a signal from my wireless router, however when I try to connect to my ESSID via KnetworkManager It asks for a WEP key. After entering the key, Knetnetwork manager will try to connect for a minute or so and then it will ask for my WEP key again. It keeps repeating this cycle without ceasing. How to configure the WEP so that Knetwork manager will connect or a way around WEP.

how to I have to configure KnetworkManager for using my Nokia c5 to connect to internet using a USB Cable (or bluetooth).
I just don't get it? I've attempted multiple times to get the knetworkmanager to connect to an unencrypted network, yet it keeps asking for a wep key. However the networkmanager in the Gnome version connects to unencrypted networks just fine. Why won't knetwork manager do the same?

View 9 Replies View RelatedWanted to replace knetworkmanager with wicd due to some intermittent connection problems that we had.
Did a search from opensuse search page and comes up with this
Index of /repositories/X11:/xfce:/nilda/openSUSE_11.3
Understand that this should be safe to use.
why is wicd not in opensuse's own default repository?
Dig a little deeper and found this link
Index of /repositories/system:/wicd/openSUSE_Factory/x86_64
Believe this is opensuse's own repository. But why is is not part of the default repository that is available to all users after install?
Question 3 How can I better understand the opensuse's repository. Are there good site/articles that give clear explanation on opensuse's repository
..i'm running 11.2, kde 4.3.i updated my laptop yesterday, and now i'm unable to connect to the internet wirelessly.the network ger icon that was once in my system tray is no longer there, and i have been unable to add it back.more importantly, when i try to run network manager i get the following:KNetworkManagertart because the installation is misconfigured. System DBUS policy does not allow it to provide user settings; contact your system administrator or distribution. KNetworkManager will not start automatically in the future."
i'm completely lost, especially because network manager was working fine yesterday, and all day today until a few hours ago. i made no manual configuration changes, so i have not clue what the thing is talking about...i'm now stuck in a corner of my house
Since 11.2, I am using Knetworkmanager for getting connected to the internet.But is getting disconnected on its own every now and then. I used Kinternet when I was on 11.1 and it worked fine, Infact I would prefer kinternet over knetworkmanager anyday. But in suse 11.2, having both KDE3 and KDE4 libraries does make system work unexpectdly. I tried installing Kinternet once but after that kontact kept crashing (because of clashes between kdelibs3 and kdelibs4).Can anyone help me finding out the problem in knetworkmanger.. here is entry in /var/log/NetworkManager when I got disconnected..

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have two laptops here, a Lenovo T510 and a Lenovo Ideapdad S12, both running Fedora 13 with KDE4. On the T510 wireless worked out of the box and is enabled when I boot it, on the S12 it's not. I have the wl driver installed but every time I boot the laptop wireless is disabled in knetworkmanager. I have to manually enabled it, then wait a few seconds until it establishes a connection to my already configured wireless networks.

I'm configuring a computer for someone and I don't know the wireless network they will be using. (They are not technical.) I've setup networking to use NetworkManager. It works just fine.However, Knetworkmanager won't startup at boot/login. Therefore, the network doesn't startup automatically. I have to click on the icon in the menu to start it.That works well, but it should be configurable to startup automatically.I've searched this forum for answers and don't find any good ones. It seems there isn't an answer or there is a bug in KDE 4.x. (I'm using KDE 4.3.x)
View 9 Replies View RelatedI made a brief foray into IceWM g which I used tradition ifup" instead of KNetworkManager. I switched back to KDE and even though I have re-enabled "user controlled with network manager" KNetworkManager still doesn't run at KDE login.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI've my OpenSuse installed both on laptop and PC.
The kNetworkManager works well on the laptop both on user account and root account. It connects to my mobile broadband fine.
The problem appeared on my PC. When I log into root account - everything seems to be fine, It connects through knetworkmanager - The cellular connection gets activated, I see X and a heart near "Activated". root account reads my DNS'es from resolv.conf
When I only log into the user account (not as root), the knetworkmanager connects - but as I've checked - it seems that it doesn't use the DNS adresses I've entered in resolv.conf (netconfig_dns_policy is set to "") so I can manually add openDNS to the resolv.conf). It just connects -
I did CHMOD the files resolv.conf and config in sysconfig/network - no luck.
The only way to bypass this is logging to root first - connect there, then switch to user while staying connected... but I think it's an annoying solution.
logs contain this when connecting from user account:

For one of the users on my system, knetworkmanager abruptly ceases to autostart once on a while. This happens once in roughly 10-15 days. When that happens, i have to go into .kde4/share/config/networkmanagementrc and manually toggle Autostart=true (from false). This trick works for another 2 weeks or so, before the value of "Autostart" automagically changes to 'false' and i have change it again.I dont mind doing it manually, but the user in question is my mom, and she does not have the know-how to do it herself when i'm not around.
View 7 Replies View Relatedon kde4 with knetworkmanager I cannot get past the wep security key on my home router. Every other wlan works, ethernet works, settings are definitely correct because it works with windows, other computers.And on the same computer even with gnome networkmanager! Also it used to work fine earlier. Behavior the same with different users including root, regardless of using kwallet or not. Networkamanager tries to connect and after one or two minutes throws the setting window back at me. I uninstalled and re-installed and deleted all related files I could think of. I even tried a complete fresh installation of opensuse only keeping the /home partition, so the problem must be lying there I guess. But then why all users?
PS opensuse 11.2
kde networkmanager 0.9.svn1043876-1.1.1
I accidentally powered down in the middle of a session by removing the wrong battery from my laptop (a Motion Computing tablet), and ever since that happened knetworkmanager crashes with a segmentation fault on startup. I have uninstalled it and then reinstalled it from an openSuse 11.4 DVD I made a few months ago, but it still crashes on startup. Ifup says it connects to the wifi (Wayport Access @ McDonalds) I have available, but browsers don't reach the internet while Ifup is connected, so I can't sign on and get access to anything more recent. Is there some file I ought to delete,or some other software I ought to delete and reinstall?
