Ok, I just tested this combination. networkmanager-gnome 0.8.0.999 libnm-* libs 0.8.0.999 network-manager 0.8 And this combination works more or less fine for me. I can activate existing connections (system/user), create new ones, delete existing ones. The only issue I can confirm is, that indeed, the Enable/Disable network button is not selectable. (The reason for this is, that in 0.8.0.999, there is a distinction between user intiated or system initiated state changes and the new nm-gnome makes use of this new API which nm 0.8 doesn't offer). That said, while I agree, that bumping the dep on nm to >= 0.8.0.999 in nm-gnome is probably the right thing to do, the severity grave is not justified given that I'm still able to use nm-applet. How did you end up with a disabled networkmanager? Did you disable it before you upgraded or did you have a failed suspend/resume in between? Michael Did you perhaps disable network, upgrade nm-gnome and afterwards you -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
