Configuring the wireless network with NM worked fine after KDE4 installation with RC1 but I still get the "no network" dialog during installation if I don't configure wireless network.
Can we get rid of that till the final release?
I don't know :( Yast network proposal calls 'nm-opensuse-sysconfig-merge' stuff to convert sysconfig settings to NM's own on writing network settings in installation. Here's what we get (wireless eth1 is just set to be DHCP, but has no SSID assigned so far): Converting 'ifcfg-eth1' (interface: eth1: type: 2) : (/usr/lib/NetworkManager/nm-opensuse-sysconfig-merge:4600): WARNING **: Ignoring invalid IP4 address: invalid prefix: '0'\n\n** (/usr/lib/NetworkManager/nm-opensuse-sysconfig-merge:4600): WARNING **: parse_ifcfg: Invalid connection for eth1: 'NMSettingWireless' / 'ssid' invalid: 2\n\n** (/usr/lib/NetworkManager/nm-opensuse-sysconfig-merge:4600): WARNING **: Ignoring invalid IP4 address: invalid prefix: '0'\n" Don't know if this is the one and the only reason why there's no network running even after 15 seconds timeout.

The log file from comment #1 does not have any connection attempts,
Hm, I was referring to logs in comment #10, they're more up to date. (In reply to comment #15 from Stefan Assmann)
I can try to get you those files later. Guess I have to reinstall to get those, might take a while.
No, you don't really have to reinstall. I believe it would be enough to configure both wired and wireless card as DHCP only and do not add any additional options to that (e.g. ESSID, keys,...). That should do - for reconstructing the case where user accepts default values proposed by installation. -- 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 hope these attachments are fine, I took them on another machine directly after installation with the machine unplugged from the network. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Oh my, was the machine before (logs in comment #10) also unplugged from the network? No wonder there was "No network running" pop-up then ... If only I got an idea to search logs for link status before! eth0 (wired) reports no link - probably no cable plugged in. eth1 (wireless) can have no link either, with just default values accepted and no ESSID configured ... Messages from NM conversion tool in log #11 were just warnings and can probably be disregarded. As for NetworkManager on the installed system - I have a patch (just doing some final testing around) that will skip network reload/restart in YaST and write just some very basic setup ( "NETWORKMANAGER="yes" to sysconfig and /etc/HOSTNAME content). Thus the annoying pop-up won't appear and it'll be up to user to set some connection in NM later As for NetworkManager in installation - network restart can't be skipped in such case. So if there is no valid connection configured, the pop-up must appear. -- 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.

Okay sounds reasonable, but maybe the message could be more meaningful. It really confused me during an automatic installation (not autoyast, but the checkbox automatic configuration). It configured all kinds of things and then I got this popup saying "no network running" and the only choice I had was to click the OK button. That was irritating. You know what I mean? -- 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.

Okay sounds reasonable, but maybe the message could be more meaningful. It really confused me during an automatic installation (not autoyast, but the checkbox automatic configuration).
The pop-up has been disabled entirely for installation with automatic configuration (bug #449777). Now it no longer appears with NetworkManager on the installed system (bug #444967).
It configured all kinds of things and then I got this popup saying "no network running" and the only choice I had was to click the OK button. That was irritating. You know what I mean?
Now it will only appear (and rightfully so) if the user does not configure any valid connection in 2nd stage of installation. Marking this as fixed, though it got not fixed by itself, but along with two other bugs referenced above. -- 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.
