I build dhcdbd with -DDHCLIENT_EXTENDED_OPTION_ENVIRONMENT=0, so it doesn't try to use -x, which I assume will only cause problems like that issue with ubuntu I was having a week or two ago. The packages I've seen for dhcp don't have support for -x either, is this a distro-added option? The dhclient script does have the correct magic to push info back to dhcdbd. dhcp 3.0.3-r5 on gentoo has the dbus lines in your other email included in dhclient-script. It was in 3.0.2-something too, I'm not sure why it wasn't in 3.0.3-r4. Either way, it's there now. NetworkManager 0.5.1 is now functioning correctly. I can see the signal bars in the notification area, ... and I mean, I'm typing this email. I assume it would work in 0.5.2 as well, although like I said, I gave up on that temporarily because wpa_supplicant doesn't play nice with one of my cards. _______________________________________________ NetworkManager-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
