Use nm-settings applet or switch to Traditional Method with ifup." Then I must use the Traditional Method which works. However, since I sometime need to connect via a GPRS/UMTS network (using a data card) I would prefer to use NetworkManager. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
