[Bug 381640] New: networkmanager sets offline-mode, during ppp connection
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=381640 Summary: networkmanager sets offline-mode, during ppp connection Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: x86 OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3 Status: NEW Severity: Minor Priority: P5 - None Component: Mobile Devices AssignedTo: zoz@novell.com ReportedBy: jw@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de CC: behlert@novell.com Blocks: 357354 Found By: --- I click on the kinternet icon, to start a dialup connection. While connected via smpppd: networkmanager still shows its 'Disconnected' icon. Right click on the icon gives me a menue that has 'Options-> switch to online mode' greyed out, but 'Options-> switch to offline mode' available. This is an apparently inconsistent state. Firefox starts up in 'Offline Mode' under these conditions. -- 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.

No idea how this could be fixed. Best would be to disable the offline mode switching in firefox. -- 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.

And we have to concentrate on 11.0 with NM 0.7. For 11.0 this behavior would be a valid bug. -- 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.

I am using cinternet -A to do so. while connected via smpppd, nm-applet shows its disconnected icon. Firefox believes that I am working offline, and wants me to hit File->Work Offline and then Try Again. -- 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.

There is however support for GSM/CDMA connections built in NM 0.7 (that's opensuse 11.0 and later). There has not been enough interest in landline dialup support to make it worth to implement. -- 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.

Please advise. My smpppd connects to my cellphone via bluetooth. No landlines involved. Is it possible to switch the systems online / offline mode manually? -- 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.

At least NM does this via dbus messages. Should be possible to send this messages. Maybe there is even a better way. Tambet, can you help? But this unfortunately does not validate the bug report itself. What you are doing is just unsupported. Talk to PM about that. You should control your network connection via NM. If that is not possible, please file a bug report or feature request for that. -- 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.

Only NM itself can do that because once NM has an active connection, it also needs to know everything else about the connection: the active device name, driver, address(es), route(s), DNS(s). In other words, once you know all that, and also provide monitoring, you've implemented support for your device in NM. And that's exactly what's missing. Bluetooth isn't supported in NM. The upstream bug to track it: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=432774 There's also a FATE entry for bluetooth support, id 302311. -- 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.
