I am missing something here and do not understand your answer. What do you consider "multiple device support"? With F9 and NetworkManager-0.7.0-0.9.3.svn3623.fc9.x86_64, both the wired and the wireless interfaces are enabled even though they BOTH are on the same (sub) network [and NOT the way I would like to see things work with both a wired and a wireless NIC available]. With f8 and NetworkManager-0.7.0-0.6.7.svn3370.fc8, plugging in the wired connection will DISABLE the wireless connection. Conversely, unplugging the wired connection will disable the wired connection and (re)ENABLE the wireless connection [and IS the way I would like to see things work with both a wired and a wireless NIC available]. However, in other cases on systems with multiple wired NICs, I want them all enabled ... if such a system had a wireless NIC also, then I may or may not want it enabled and would need to disable wireless in NM via the applet if it was not wanted. I understand that you are trying, with NetworkManager, to "just do the right thing" and keep things simple for the user. Nevertheless, there may be hardware configurations where "the right thing" is not clear ... e.g., a laptop with multiple wireless NICs (which I can easily create) ... here my question is if there enough "knobs and switches" to allow such corner cases to be adequately handled. -- Gene _______________________________________________ NetworkManager-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
