Hi. NetworkManager on my Debian etch/unstable laptop seems to have trouble communicating with dhclient over DBUS. It gets most of the way with configuring the wired interface but then gives up when it comes to running dhclient such that it never runs (see attached syslog extract).
My user is in the netdev group and dhclient-script seems to be including the required dbus code from /etc/dhcp3/dhclient-exit-hooks.d/dhcdbd. Everything works manually. Some package versions: dbus 1.0.2-1 libdbus-1-3 1.0.2-1 dhcp3-client 3.0.4-13 dhcdbd 2.0-2 network-manager 0.6.4-6 network-manager-kde 1:0.1-4 Kernel 2.6.17.6-suspend2 Hardware: Thinkpad T60, IPW3945 wireless, E1000 wired Thanks, Barney
