Re: Wireless

Well, I've been doing a bit more investigation of this. I am using the madwifi-ng driver (svn revision 1443) which was working fine with NetworkManager-0.5.1-8.cvs20060131, but stops working with NetworkManager-0.5.1-10.cvs20060205. I reverted to the previous version and NM connects.

The message handler error I mentioned below appears for both versions, so it seems to be harmless. The messages that appear for the new version and not in the old are:

NetworkManager: nm_device_is_802_3_ethernet: assertion 'dev != NULL' failed
NetworkManager: nm_device_is_802_11_wireless: assertion 'dev != NULL' failed

any ideas?

Before today's rawhide NM was working OK for me, but after today (2/6) I too see behavior where the IP address isn't being picked up. NM shows all the APs in my area and attempts to connect, but fails. The notable message I get is: dhcdbd: message_handler: message handler not found under /com/redhat/dhcp/ath0 for sub-path ath0.dbus.get.reason

it appears regardless of whether enforcement is on or not (just in case there was a suspicion it was selinux related).
NM doesn't seem to have a problem with eth0 though.

After today's rawhide update dhclient is started at boot time and does not pick up an ip address. So instead of doing an /sbin/ifup eth1 I have to do a /sbin/ifdown eth1 first before bringing up the wireless card.

I have never been able to get the system to start the interface correctly I think because it tries to determine an IP address before network-manager is up and running.

Anyone have any insights on what I should change ? My ifcfg-eth1 is below.
