[Bug 237679] New: No modem displayed on knetworkmanager/KDE3.5.5
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=237679 Summary: No modem displayed on knetworkmanager/KDE3.5.5 Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Network AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: stefan.zosel@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Hi if i start a modem (vodafone UMTS) via knetworkmanager, the icon in the system tray doesnt change to the modem-icon. If the connect fails, there's NO error-message AND i have to disconnect manuelly - even if there's no connection. The networkmanager-status should change to disconnected if the modem-connect fails. With the UMTS-Card i need a password-authentication by the first try. For a second try it's not allowed to re-authenticate - would be perfect, if we could create something, to support that better. The UMTS-Card can have UMTS or GPRS connections. With AT-Commands it's possible to find out the current status of connection. Maybe we can visualize this by icon in the system tray. If the modem is connected, the knetworkmanager doesnt change the online-status for other application (knetwork-daemon) - so kmail feels offine - but thats wrong.

if i start a modem (vodafone UMTS) via knetworkmanager, the icon in the system tray doesnt change to the modem-icon. If the connect fails, there's NO error-message AND i have to disconnect manuelly - even if there's no connection. The networkmanager-status should change to disconnected if the modem-connect fails.
This is the missing dial-up support in NetworkManager. Nothing what is in scope of KNetworkManager. Please use KInternet until NetworkManager provides proper dial-up support.
With the UMTS-Card i need a password-authentication by the first try. For a second try it's not allowed to re-authenticate - would be perfect, if we could create something, to support that better.
The UMTS-Card can have UMTS or GPRS connections. With AT-Commands it's possible to find out the current status of connection. Maybe we can visualize this by icon in the system tray.
There is work in progress. NetworkManager 0.7 is likely to provide better dial-up support. Helmut has worked on the client side implementation (KNetworkManager) for that.
If the modem is connected, the knetworkmanager doesnt change the online-status for other application (knetwork-daemon) - so kmail feels offine - but thats wrong.
This again is a NetworkManager issue. It's just not ready for PPP. Closing as WONTFIX as it is very unlikely that we will get any improvements for OS10.2. -- 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.
