----------------- EXISTING SECTION -----------------
GNOME Shell features an integrated NetworkManager configuration interface, provided by an applet in the top panel and a configuration interface in System Settings. However, as of Fedora 15 Beta, these tools have not yet achieved feature parity with the configuration interface from GNOME 2, provided by the old nm-applet. Some features are still missing and there are known bugs with others. Major ones will be listed individually here, but as a general principle, if you encounter problems or missing features trying to configure your network using the GNOME 3 applet and System Settings interface, you can run the standalone
nm-connection-editor tool, which makes all the operations not yet implemented in the GNOME 3 interface available. You can launch nm-connection-editor from a console, from the alt-f2 Run dialog, or from the overview (type nm-connection-editor or search for an entry named Network Connections).GNOME 3's fallback mode uses the old nm-applet, and is not subject to this issue.
----------------- ADDED SECTION - minimal -----------------
If you wish, you may use the old nm-applet from GNOME 3's fallback mode on GNOME Shell by running the following command as root:
# mv /usr/share/gnome-shell/js/ui/status/network.js /usr/share/gnome-shell/js/ui/status/network.disabled
If you wish, you may use the old nm-applet from GNOME 3's fallback mode on GNOME Shell by running the following command as root:
# mv /usr/share/gnome-shell/js/ui/status/network.js /usr/share/gnome-shell/js/ui/status/network.disabled
You may need to re-run this command after a GNOME Shell upgrade.
NOTE: nm-applet does not integrate well with GNOME Shell experience.
----------------- ADDED SECTION - expanded -----------------
Using the old nm-applet will fix the following issues:
- nm-applet will now remember 3G connections created on another sessions
- modem-manager will no longer require to be restarted after inserting certain 3G dongles in order to function
- and some more issues.
