With the current Ubuntu there have been problems where NM tries to take control of usb0 despite being told not to, or refuses to follow manual setting within its own GUI, but also it has had problems where it tries to point default route out usb0, or brings eth0 down and back up, or other odd behavior.

So I switched to wicd a month ago, and now it connects flawlessly... I kept my network config file the same as I used before. PS. Also wicd now allows me to turn on/off wifi on my laptop when I want. With NetworkManager, if I did not turn it on at boot time, it was not recognized afterwards... And I also prefer its wifi scanning/configuration, though I still do not understand why it does not always show my AP (as if it was an hidden network). ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Although slightly OT in regards to your FR question, I have found many recommend to install Wicd, http://www.wicd.net/ which removes Network Manager and allows you to use profiles and the like. All my problems in relation to standard Ubuntu wireless and wired network networking have gone away since I have updated my machines. However, I am not certain how Wicd plays with the FR USB settings as I am yet to try try and connect my FR on a Wicd based machine. When I get a chance to I will report here. If anyone has already tried then please chime in. cheers Denis ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
[ubuntu host] NetworkManager improvements
I know several people here have had problems with the NetworkManager bugs in Intrepid. I installed Xubuntu 8.10 on my new netbook the other day, upgraded everything, and found that if I used the networkmanager applet to define the interface 'auto usb0' with manual IP of 192.168.0.201/255.255.255.252 (the subnet I use for my FreeRunner, two IPs plus network and broadcast) it 'just works' again. On my desktop Ubuntu (gnome) however, I've still been unable to get it to handle it correctly. (I'm seeing some odd misbehavior in the gnome NM applet, it's possible that either xfce's nm-applet or NM itself is why my netbook works, but gnome nm-applet may still be broken) Has anyone else been successful with Ubuntu NetworkManager recently? And did you revert from a manual config via /etc/network/interfaces to allowing NM to handle usb0? BTW, if anyone is interested I have a working udhcpd set up where my FR hands out 192.168.0.201/30 to whatever asks for an IP on usb0, so I can just jack in and go, more often than not, on a new host. The daemon listens only on usb0, and hands out only an IP and subnet with no routes, which works fine with NetworkManager default - it finds usb0 without a problem on a 'virgin' host and asks for DHCP, and the FR provides. :) Oh, udhcpd is one of the functions rolled into busybox, so it's already on the FR by default and just needs config and launch. j ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
