I as many other do have a laptop that has wired and wireless networking as standard but sometimes i need to use a Mobile broadband dongal USB what is needed is an easy way to completely stop the wired and wireless networking to use the mobile system , The reason for this is that if wireless is disconnected but enabled then you can not get a route via the mobile connection you have to completely disable the wireless to use the mobile and easy way to do this is a much needed addition a means of picking which networking device is active .
Isn't this a job for the NetworkManager?
It fails miserably if it is supposed to do it always has done ,
Are you sure? It works just fine here for me in my testing with my devices, I do this all the time with my laptop.
Just disable wireless from the icon menu and all should be fine.
Nope no good here they only way is to actually go into yast and delete the info for the wireless device logout login then the dongal works fine
Ick, that's not good. Have you tried the newer NetworkManager version in Factory and not the one in 11.3?
If this still doesn't work, try filing a bug against upstream NetworkManager.
good luck,

Hi .. I'll have a try of the newer NetworkManager version see it that makes any difference I wonder if it is partly due to this being a vodafone dongal and having to use the vodafone connect program i could not get UMTSMON to work with it Pete . -- Powered by openSUSE 11.3 (x86_64) Kernel: 2.6.34.7-0.5-desktop KDE Development Platform: 4.4.4 (KDE 4.4.4) "release 3" 17:25 up 1 day 20:52, 4 users, load average: 0.57, 0.70, 0.75 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
