Fedora 9 ( 2.6.25.9-76.rc9.i686) Network Manager 0.7.0-0.9.4 (and 0.7 related NM widgets). iwl3945 on Dell D820
Network Manager & nm-applet (gnome) generally works well for me for both wired and wireless networks (with WEP and WPA) while using DHCP. I do have one network with a hidden SSID that requires WEP with 128 hex key BUT manually assigned IPs. The 070 series of NM stuff claims support for specifying static IPs. And nm-applet has an 'edit connections' option that starts "nm-connection-editor". This editor allows you to specify more stuff about a connection (including static IPs and gateways, and DNS stuff). COOL -- just what I need! BUT -- if you edit or add a connection using this tool. HOW DO YOU TELL NM and NM-applet to use these connection settings? In my case with the WEP & static IP -- I get the WEP part OK -- but NM insists on DHCP (as seen via /var/log/message) even though I have a connection that says don't use DHCP and use this IP etc....... Further when I add connections with nm-connection-editor - there is no widget or indicator in nm-applet to 'pick' this connection for use (when you l-click on nm-applet). Does the static-ip stuff in NM actually work? If so, what am i doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated....
