Mea culpa. Having attacked NM (NetworkManager) unmercifully in the past, I now find myself completely at his (her?) mercy, as he/she is the only way of connecting one of my current laptop (with WiFi) to the real world. For some reason, system-config-network has been getting steadily worse over the last few months, and now does not work at all. (At its best it worked about 65% of the time.) Is anyone successfully using the network service + system-config-network with Fedora-8 (updated)? To be more precise, has anyone found themselves NOT connected with WiFi, and found the problem solved by running system-config-network?
Yes. Easily 95% of my systems are hard-wired and use system-config- network (well, make that "service network start"). They're all using fixed IPs, though. I've only used NM/NMD on very rare occasions. Even my laptop on wifi with WPA nodes and DHCP uses the regular stuff. I did have to sort out wpa_supplicant and dhclient things, but that wasn't hard to do. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer rps2@xxxxxxxx - - Hosting Consulting, Inc. - - - - If at first you don't succeed, quit.
