I am aware that this is the behavior that I _should_ observe. However, in practice I don't, that's why I wrote to the mailing list. I attached a screenshot of how my nm-cli looks like when right clicked to my orinigal email, and it can also be found in the bugreport I opened at https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=682233 Here it also shows that "nmcli dev wifi" actually finds all wireless networks in range, yet they are not in the right-click menu of nm. I suspect that this is because I am not using gnome as a desktop environment but E17? thanks again for the attention! - -igel -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAlBE8XsACgkQacCjHxaKeMS8rACgkGG3KD8VtWku6H3uHFDDel8+ EnUAoOHekTG16AGyG4ng6XWHRYTitsiQ =+swt -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ networkmanager-list mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
