to run dnsmasq as invoked automatically by network manager (since it
doesn't use the dbus methods in the ubuntu build), you have to configure
dnsmasq to only listen on interfaces which network manager will not
need.
Typiclly, this means that you can set dnsmasq.conf to only listen on
your wired
dnsmasq provides dbus methods
network manager ignores whether dnsmasq service is running, and tries to
instantiate new listeners on the interfaces it has brought up.
network manager therefore CONFLICTS with dnsmasq and this should be
marked, so people don't install dnsmasq (which should be
has anyone had trouble with running dnsmasq service, AND letting network
manager try to run individual dnsmasq processes? this affected me in
intrepid.
this might change the dependency requirement, and/or be another bug.

Just wanted to point out that this isn't just about sharing connections,
but in fact affects *all* ad-hoc networks. I think dnsmasq-base should
be a *requirement*, not just suggested, because Network Manager presents
in its menus features that just don't work without it. If it's broken
without it,
This is needed for jaunty as well.

Plus nm-applet really shouldn't segfault because it can't find the
binary. I was away from network connectivity (as you usually are when
you try to ad-hoc, otherwise you'd just both connect to the
infrastructure) when I tried this a couple of days ago.
Thankfully we are both experienced
I agree. I've been trying to share a connection for some time now, if I
would have found this page earlier, it would have saved a lot of time!

Why isn't this installed by default? It's less than 1 mg. What about
when you try to create a wireless network, network-manager goes Hey,
you need dnsmasq-base in order to do this. Do you want to install it
now? I agree, it is very silly that this information isn't made more
obvious to the end
ok I think i understand. Is just -base really enough?

I don't understand why dnsmasq-base would help for connection sharing?
Is this a DNS issue?

Yeah it appears -base is all that is needed.

Can confirm it suffices. I tried to provide a debdiff but missed up with
versioning. The fact there is a Fix available implies that we can hope
to see it backported to Intrepid?

I can confirm connection sharing works correctly after installing
dnsmasq-base. I agree that it should be a recommends.

Fedore connection sharing how-to [1] not work form me.
I've installed dnsmasq-base and created new wireless connection.
Can you explain step-by-step process to share connection using network-
manager and dnsmasq?

sharing/
I'm sorry, aftwer restarting it works, but the winxp lapton continue to
connect and disconnect.
This's the log:
I change many lines like this
Nov 8 17:04:30 intrepid NetworkManager: info (eth1): supplicant connection
state change: 7 - 4
Nov 8 17:04:30 intrepid NetworkManager: info (eth1):
dnsmasq-base only, as dnsmasq runs a daemon which prevents network
manager's command line invocation of the binary. documentation for nm is
so appalling.
