NetworkManager knows about all the active devices that it has activated. It does not and can not know about devices which are activated manually. So if you use shell scripts ("traditional method", yast) to configure your dsl device, NM will not know about it and will tell the system "offline". That is why you'll need to right-click on nm-applet icon, choose "Edit Connecitons...", got to DSL tab and add a new connection. Then from the left-click menu from the nm-applet, choose the connection configuration you just created to activate it. -- 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.
