Right click on the panel. Choose Add to Panel. One of the options will
be to add Network Monitor to the Panel.
The Netowrk Monitor applet is not NetworkManager. It's more an interface
to system-config-network.
All I did to get the NetworkManager applet--more of a notification icon
than an applet--(/usr/bin/nm-applet) was to "/sbin/service NetworkManager
start". If that doesn't work, you can then start nm-applet from the
command line. Once nm-applet has been started once, it should be
preserved across logins, as long as NetworkManager is running.
I can start nm-applet but I can't get it to work consistently. It asks
me for the passwd for example but it does no connect. Well once it did
but I can't do it a second time. Presumable NetworkManager is run when
I boot but no nm-applet is launched unless I do it on the command line.
I can see that it is the facility that I was looking for but I just
can't make it work. I get errors when it starts that I included in
another fedora message.
(nm-applet:5719): libglade-WARNING **: unknown property `urgency_hint'
for class `GtkDialog'
(nm-applet:5719): libglade-WARNING **: unknown property `urgency_hint'
for class `GtkDialog'
I don't know what these errors mean. Do you?
I don't, but you should bring this up on the networkmanager-list@xxxxxxxxx
list. There are definitely a few bugs in the system, though when it
works, it's the greatest thing since thinly sliced cabbage.
