hello, I just tried the rawhide-20071019-i686 image. When I log in I'm greeted with an NetworkManager-balloon saying: Disconnected The network connection has been disabled (by the way, this balloon is loaded even before the panel and the 'point' on it is pointing to nowhere.) a 'cat /var/log/messages|grep NetworkManger' shows the following: Oct 21 21:30:39 localhost NetworkManager: <info> starting... Oct 21 21:30:39 localhost NetworkManager: <info> eth0: Device is fully-supported using driver 'atl1'. Oct 21 21:30:39 localhost NetworkManager: <info> Now managing wired Ethernet (802.3) device 'eth0'.

Oct 21 21:30:45 localhost NetworkManager: <info> (eth0) supplicant interface is now in state 2 (from 1). There is no wireless or whatsoever on this desktop-pc. Why is Networkmanager disabling my connection by default? (I can enable the connection by clicking on the NetworkManager-status-icon and checking the radio-group-button before "Wired Network".) regards, Arnout Lok -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
