[Bug 296275] New: NetworkManager Should Support PPP Connections
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=296275 Summary: NetworkManager Should Support PPP Connections Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: PC OS/Version: openSUSE 10.2 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Network AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: crispin@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: Development It's the latest thing; cell phone WAN cards that give you internet access anywhere you can get cell coverage. Linux perceives the card to be a MODEM, so you have to set up connectivity via PPP. YaST will install and configure the card, but then you cannot manage the network connection with NM, you have to leave NM turned off and manually go turn on the network with some other software. Worse, NM advertises to all the NM-aware desktop applications that you are off-line, so you have to over-ride them to tell them to work online instead of offline. This is especially vexing for Gaim/pidgin, which does not have a button to override the online/offline mode. -- 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.
