[Bug 82927] Re: [feisty fawn] NetworkManager reports incorrect online status
Yep, whoever coded that part of Network Manager decided some cards didn't support carrier detect therefore disabled the card. Even though the cards work just fine. Once booted, with Gutsy Ubuntu and Gutsy Xubuntu, clicking on the network manager icon and clicking the wired network line and waiting..activates the connection. Absolutely no reason that couldn't have been done during boot by the Network Manager code in the first place. Two thorns remain - I boot, there's a prominent notification of updates, I click on update icon which runs for a while then bombs out because of no network connection. Oops, cancel out of that, click on network icon and wired connection, wait, then try the update again Biggest bone on Kubuntu as of 20071010, I haven't tried Kubuntu 7.10 yet, is that there is NO ACTIVE (NOT GREY'D OUT) PLACE TO CLICK ON WIRED CONNECTION. ERGO, NO NETWORK. FOR ME, THAT MAKES KUBUNTU DOA (DEAD ON ARRIVAL). Kubuntu Tribe 5 worked fine. Rest in peace. And oh, yes, if the connection is enabled with sudo dhclient, Gutsy 7.10 Network Mangler doesn't recognize it (the topic of this bug in the first place) so Kubuntu remains networkless even though there is a working pingable connection Jerry -- [feisty fawn and Gutsy] NetworkManager reports incorrect online status https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/82927 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 82927] Re: [feisty fawn] NetworkManager reports incorrect online status
I just spent a lot of time testing the nm applet on an updated (as of 20071017) Ubuntu Gutsy RC1 using a whole bunch of different network adapters. I found that the applet won't connect automatically with a few cards only. Big report follows and syslog is attached. I also moved the drive to an Intel D815EEA system and tested #1 again but got the same result (the built-in port worked successfully). I also tried enabling/disabling the Award BIOS PNP OS option but the results were the same. I tested the cards multiple times and the results are 100% repeatable. The only thing I haven't tried is a virgin Gutsy RC1 install on a completely different system with the same cards. nm-applet 0.6.5 Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy RC1) Linux restore1 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Sun Oct 14 23:05:12 GMT 2007 i686 GNU/Linux HP Pavilion 8705 Pentium III 800MHz Via Apollo MVP3/Pro133x AGP ASUS CUV-NT motherboard FAILS: When desktop loads, applet indicates no network found, Firefox can't access the Internet.

[Bug 82927] Re: [feisty fawn] NetworkManager reports incorrect online status
The only progress I've seen is backwards. On my IBM Net Vista which came up with Network Manager O.K. on Feisty, now on Gutsy daily builds up through yesterday during boot Network Manager fills /var/log/syslog with hundreds and thousands of loops of enabling and disabling either eth2 (which I don't have) or eth0 before it finally finishes boot. Syslog is as much as 5 megabytes big where it should be 35 kilobytes. My main system still requires manual intervention since Network Manager disables my Realtek card during boot; you can see it right in /var/log/syslog. Removing the Network Manager package is useless because even though it is removed, it is still active during boot and still disables my card - which works perfectly after having to enable it either by issuing sudo dhclient or clicking the applet. If Network Manager can enable the wired network by clicking on the applet, why can't it use the same thing to enable it during boot?? We the users have no clue whether Ubuntu isn't interested, can't fix it, or maybe the Network Manager people would rather work on something else (shudder). Upshot is I can get it working sooner or later, but this doesn't seem to me to be the best way to spread Ubuntu to more users.

Gutsy as of 20070618 has network manager problem with same symptoms as Feisty. 1. Network manager disables Realtek ethernet card during boot. No reason to do that since it works fine. 2. After boot, the applet shows a red mark and passing the cursor over it says no network connection. 3. Using The Official Ubuntu Book method of sudo dhclient, the card comes up and the network works fine. 4. Network manager still reports no network connection even as the browser and ethernet card work fine. 5. Manually clicking on the network manager applet, clicking on the wired connection, and then clicking off the balloon does get it running with the proper indication; why on earth do I have to do three manual clicks with Gutsy and Fesity when Dapper and Edgy don't need it?

[Bug 82927] Re: [feisty fawn] NetworkManager reports incorrect online status
Can people confirm that this is still happening? I haven't had this for a while. Is still have the problem with manually configured PPP links. NM doesn't detect when this link is online and has created a default route. This causes important applications like Epiphany, Evolution, GAIM^W Pidgin, ... to stay in offline mode. Very annoying. I have to configure my PPP link by hand, as I need a custom chatscript to connect to my UMTS based ISP. Possible work arround for me: Provide some DBus interface for letting ip-up/ip-down scripts report the online status of manually configured devices. Would be some kind of hack, but that short term solution would drop alot of announces NM currently cause. Additionally such an interface would have the advantage of being able to extend NM to support for instance UMTS links by using a more reasonable language than C: Configuring an UMTS modem involves alot of string processing.

This should have been fixed in network-manager (0.6.4-6ubuntu7) feisty; urgency=low * 21_manual_means_always_online.diff: The previous version of this patch (ubuntu5) made a change to nm-applet that would assume the state was disconnected if the device list was empty. This didn't work since the device list is always empty on start because the status is obtained first. This was guarding against having the connected state with no devices, which broke later assertions. Change the patch to correct those assertions instead; a connected state with no active device will now display the wired icon with a Manual network configuration tooltip. LP: #82335, #105234. * 05-debian_backend.patch: Revert change in ubuntu3 that commented out the blacklisting of devices listed in /etc/network/interfaces with more exotic configuration than just inet dhcp.

[Bug 82927] Re: [feisty fawn] NetworkManager reports incorrect online status
Latest today's build 20070411, CD Live: 1. During boot scripts network comes up O.K., finds gateway, finds remote DNS. 2. Still during boot scripts Network Manager disables the network. Dapper and Edgy don't do that. They Just Work. 3. After boot completes, Network Manager says No connection. I click on the NM icon, then click on wired connection, it comes up, and Network Manager reports connected. That means the connection works and Network Manager software is defective in disabling the network which runs just fine if Network Manager would leave it alone. Then I created another account, administrator privileges, and switched users. 4. When the new user logged on, Network Manager had No network connection. No business doing that, should be able to switch users without causing a hardware disconnect. 5. Clicked on Network Manager which said the network was Disconnected and still reported No network connection. 6. Clicked on Network Manager yet again, and on wired connection, and then the connection came up. The network wasn't disconnected, except by Network Manager. Another way to enable the network connection is sudo dhclient which works fine. That's right out of the Official Ubuntu book, troubleshooting section. Network Manager doesn't know about dhclent so still shows No network connection even when there is one. Could someone explain what the purpose of Network Manager is on this system, if the primary function is to disable the only working network connection?

Although i have two machines running Fiesty, one desktop pc and a IBM t40 laptop, the wire connections are not recognized anymore, wireless connection seems to work correctly though. -- [feisty fawn] NetworkManager reports incorrect online status https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/82927 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Same here. Afer today's update (10/04/2007). I have been using feisty for a few weeks and never had this problem. I have internet access by ethernet tough, with out having to to any configuration. After deactivating network in nm and reactivating, the no connection sign goes away. -- [feisty fawn] NetworkManager reports incorrect online status https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/82927 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 82927] Re: [feisty fawn] NetworkManager reports incorrect online status
On my Edgy box, NM doesn't take control of any adapter interface **unless** that interface has the auto in front of it in /etc/networking/interfaces. I've statically configured the wifi card in my Edgy box, and NM ignores the entire interface as a result. Does removing the auto eth0 from /etc/networking/interfaces file stop NM from controlling it? Does manually assigning the IP of an adapter in this file stop NM from attempting to control with it? On a different note: Half of this problem is NM's faulty status report. NM displays connection information about adapter interfaces it controls; but if it controls none, than NM can only display not connected regardless of what non-NM-controlled adapter interface might be up and running. This is obviously misleading, and a number of things could be done to fix it. One solution to this would be for nm-applet to question whether or not it should continue to run based upon whether any interface in /etc/networking/interfaces is set to auto (and if there are no such interfaces, it should quietly exit from the tray). Another solution would be to have NM be able to _monitor_ all interfaces, but _control_ only those set to auto - so if one interface is statically configured (not under NM's control), NM can still report that it is connected. Obviously, its probably easier to have it exit if it does nothing. But that's just my non-programmer guess. -- [feisty fawn] NetworkManager reports incorrect online status https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/82927 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 82927] Re: [feisty fawn] NetworkManager reports incorrect online status
Like Olivier Bornet I found the same kernel-related nm-applet bug. (Gnome nm-applet 0.6.3) When running 2.6.20-6 on edgy, network-manager works perfectly on my IBM T43p (with atheros), including WPA. When running 2.6.20-12/13 on edgy, network-manager stops working at all - but I can get an IP-address using dhclient and at least eth0-connection works fine. So there must be some kind of change in a module from 2.6.20-6 to 12, which conflicts with nm-applet. -- [feisty fawn] NetworkManager reports incorrect online status https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/82927 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I'm getting the exact same feedback as bytesmythe. However networking works on my home WEP encrypted network with NM. At my school, it does not connect as said--dhclient works. I'm not an expert on this, but for some reason I think it's a bug with multiple APs of the same SSID. I don't know. Wicd seems to be a great network tool that works with the said network. -- [feisty fawn] NetworkManager reports incorrect online status https://launchpad.net/bugs/82927 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

NM works perfectly with: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection (rev 02) Connections fail when the signal is weaker than about 40%. As long as it's ~50+% though, it's perfect. It has worked perfectly since Dapper.

[Bug 82927] Re: [feisty fawn] NetworkManager reports incorrect online status
I'm having the same type of problem with NM. When I click on the icon, it correctly displays a list of available wireless networks, but when I select one of them, it attempts to connect but fails. If, while it is attempting to connect, I pop open a terminal and run dhclient (which will connect just fine), once the n-m connection attempt times out, it will disable my now functioning network and I have to run dhclient again. We really need a decent network management interface. NM is a couple of bugs away from being great, but unfortunately, those bugs are complete showstoppers.

[Bug 82927] Re: [feisty fawn] NetworkManager reports incorrect online status
I googled feisty fawn network manager and it brought me here. Reading the dialog above, I think my comments might be relevant. I too am totally frustrated with Network Manager. It converts a static IP to the zero configure IP of 169.x.x.x the instant the NIC patch cable is disconnected. Details: In a network communications class, I use a live CD PC to simply ping another. (My focus is on Cisco switch configuration.) Boot Feisty Fawn Herd 5 LiveCD. Use the GUI to set IP on eth0 to 1.1.1.9/24. Repeat with other PC to 1.1.1.10/24. All works well. I disconnect cable temporarily and Network Manager reconfigures eth0 to 169.x.x.x. I then attempt to use the Network Manager to change this and get the same result. I see many posts noting goofy results with NM. Works like its Alpha level code. Should Ubuntu wait until this thing is ready for prime time?

[Bug 82927] Re: [feisty fawn] NetworkManager reports incorrect online status
I have the same kind of problem on a MacBook Pro. With edgy, all is ok. Network Manager handle perfectly the wired and wireless connections, even with WPA. :) Now, because I have some problems to do recording with the microphone, I'm trying to use the feisty kernel with the edgy installation. So, I updated kernel to the last feisty kernel (package linux- image-2.6.20-12-generic, version 2.6.20-12.20) and linux-restricted- modules-2.6.20-12-generic (version 2.6.20.3-12.11) for the ath_pci wireless card. Just updating the kernel cause the Network Manager no more working. It says in the try No network devices have been found. Now, I have the two kernels installed, so: - if I boot with edgy standard kernel 2.6.17-11-generic (from package version 2.6.17.1-11.35), Network Manager works correctly, - if I boot the same installation with the feisty kernel 2.6.20-12-generic, Network Manager just says No network devices have been found. I will be happy to make more tests if needed. -- [feisty fawn] NetworkManager reports incorrect online status https://launchpad.net/bugs/82927 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 82927] Re: [feisty fawn] NetworkManager reports incorrect online status
On 20070322 builds, Ubuntu and Kubuntu boot up with No network connection. Left click on the icon, click to activate, and it does. Since it comes right up, there was no technical reason to de-activate the network during boot as shown in the syslogs above. Xubuntu Feisty, Dapper, Simply Mepis, PCLinuxOS, ... don't have the problem. Advantage everyone else except Feisty Ubuntu, Kubuntu. In my opinion, this is an anklebiter problem, not likely to stop a ordinary desktop computer user, just annoy. It would certainly save a lot of people a lot of grief (see above comments) if the Network (mis)manager booted up off, so those that wanted it could turn it on.

[Bug 82927] Re: [feisty fawn] NetworkManager reports incorrect online status
I see the title of the bug has changed. ** Not only does Network Manager report incorrect status, during boot Network Manager itself disabled a perfectly running eth0, complaining something about no carrier detect? Network Manager should not disable perfectly functioning hardware, a ordinary desktop computer user (see Official Ubuntu book). Xubuntu Feisty runs fine, Edgy, Dapper, and Windows run fine. They don't have Network Manager standard. Network Manager has a software design bug telling it to turn the customer's hardware off when it should not, as well as the bug of reporting incorrect status. Feisty Ubuntu and Feisty Kubuntu should just work like it does on Feisty Xubuntu - which has no Network Manager (yet, as of 20070315). Of course, Feisty Ubuntu development could decide it isn't interested in customers with those hardware configurations; I'd hope they would want to fix the software instead. Some of us would like to see wider use for Ubuntu, not narrower.
