The only app that appears in the control panel is not nm-connection-editor but something that calls itself "Network Settings" (or something like that anyway). That app has an Options... button which is, apparently, always disabled if there is no matching ifcfg-whatever file. If I make an ifcfg-em1 file, the Options... button becomes enabled, and when I press it, it does appear to bring up an app that looks a great deal like nm-connection-editor, but there is no GUI way to get there given the default configuration you get with the live CD. If I manually run nm-connection-editor from a terminal, I can create the ifcfg file, so there doesn't appear to be any reason to have the Options... button disabled. A separate issue is that nm-connection-editor has one of the most screwy interfaces I've ever tried to use to fill out fields in a form. If I type the IP in the first field then hit TAB (the most natural button in the world to hit to get to the next field), it erases the IP address I just typed while moving to the next field. Apparently I have to hit return rather than tab (but I'd expect hitting return to be like hitting OK or Apply). All in all, just editing the ifcfg file is simpler :-). -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
