The dispatcher went away and got replaced by a dbus activated callout in callouts/nm-dispatcher-action.c. It's run on-demand and no longer an always-running system service. > - I had to make the change in /etc/dbus-1/system.d/nm-applet.conf to > change the policy from "at_console" to "group=netdev" as I'd read on > this list's archives. Is there anything else I'd need to do? You'll need to make this change to anything that has "at_console" in it, including /etc/dbus-1/system.d/NetworkManager.conf , otherwise the applet can't talk to NM. If you haven't done this, it's probably the reason for the disabled applet stuff. dan _______________________________________________ NetworkManager-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
