Ahh! I see. IIRC, nmcli in EL5 does not support that. I believe there is some support for it in EL6 and even more in EL7. But for EL5, I believe you need to dig into the configuration files in /etc/NetworkManager. I'm sorry, I have only two production boxes left with EL5, and neither of them use NetworkManager, so it's hard for me to point you further. -- kind regards, David Sommerseth > On Wed, 8 Oct 2014, David Sommerseth wrote: > >> On 07/10/14 13:55, Allen Wilkinson wrote: >>> I could use help on the SUBJECT problem. >>> >>> This is for an old laptop that uses the ipw2200 wifi driver. >>> It assigns the wifi to eth1. >>> >>> eth0 for wired Ethernet is active okay, and I want eth1 active at the >>> same time. >>> >>> ifup eth1 seems to only allow WEP keys successfully. >>> NetworkManager never seems to connect at run level 3 using WPA for any >>> configuration that I can figure out. nm-tool does show WPA should be >>> possible. >>> >> >> Hi Allen, >> >> If you already have configured the network connections using >> NetworkManager, it should be fairly possible to start the wireless >> network using 'nmcli'.
