Try disabling Wireless globally in NM before starting the Mobile Broadband connection. I can't get Mobile Broadband to work either on my Ubuntu 8.10 while any WiFi or LAN connection remains enabled. It results in a very wierd setup, where the default route remains on the wlan0 interface (or eth0, for that matter...). ~$ route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Iface 10.6.6.6 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 ppp0 172.20.124.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 2 wlan0 169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 1000 ppp0 0.0.0.0 172.20.124.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 wlan0 Yet, the Mobile ISP's DNS servers take precedence over the WLAN ones: m...@torch:~$ more /etc/resolv.conf # Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8) # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN nameserver 138.188.101.186 nameserver 138.188.101.189 nameserver 172.20.124.1 This can't work, really - what if the Mobile ISP assigns DNS addresses that are not routeable via the WLAN network? regards Marc _______________________________________________ NetworkManager-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
