Why did you changed the "Component" to "GNOME", this is not GNOME specific, I use KDE and Haralnd uses XFCE, this is NetworkManager bug.
NM is maintained by the GNOME Team.. that's the only reason for the switch. Bin Li: Thanks for working on this. -- 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.

Harald,
It' should be related to below one.

And build it in OBS. Can you get the binaries and make a test? Currently I don't have an environment to test, if it works fine, I'll push it in updates. Thanks!
$ osc getbianries home:BinLi:branches:openSUSE:12.3:Update/NetworkManager standard x86_64
How can I check it? What are the osc username and password? and I got: osc: unknown command: 'getbianries' -- 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.

So do you restart the NetworkManager or reboot for new testing? Thanks! -- 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.

1st I restarted NM, then by accident I had to reboot anyway -- even reboot did not help...:-( while fighting against those many message boxes, there is a 2nd annoying problem: when I click on the "cancel" button on any of those windows, the NM and all msg windows lock up for several seconds. so it takes a *long* time to get rid of dozens of msg windows, if the notbook was running for a while without wifi connection. even if you manage to reduce the number of msg windows, fixing that NM blocking delay would be *very* nice, too! -- 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.
