https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=266839 ------- Comment #1 from wolfgang@rosenauer.org 2007-04-21 05:49 MST ------- So to complete the information: You are using NetworkManager but you don't let NetworkManager your WiFi connection? If NetworkManager is running and thinks it's offline Firefox will enter offline mode. So if your WiFi doesn't work anyway you can either disable it and use the ifconfig tools to setup your DHCP client or you can try to let NetworkManager handle your WiFi. You can also at least switch Firefox manually into online mode. The base problem in your case is that your WiFi isn't controlled by NetworkManager and this is what should be fixed in the end. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

I try to connect to my AP but KNetworkManager gives up after some because it doesn't get DHCP respond to it's request. I open terminal and issue these commands: # iwconfig eth1 essid valent # ifconfig eth1 10.3.3.3 netmask 255.255.255.0 # route add default gw 10.3.3.1 After that KNetworkManager reports that I'm offline - but I'm online! You are right. KNetworkManager is what should be fixed. It should be "smart" enough to see that I'm online - and even better it should have an option for connecting to wifi networks with static IP. Should I post this as a separate bug or as a feature reqest? Where do I go for feature requests? -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

Unless someone says that we drop NetworkManager support from Firefox that's an issue for Network. I'm adjusting the summary to what the actual issue is. (As I said if someone still thinks this is a Firefox issue we would need a new specification what Firefox is supposed to do) -- 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.
