Now that you do have an alternate client, could I prevail upon you compare working and non-working wifi connections using qdbus so we can save others the hassle in future?
If you go to http://userbase.kde.org/NetworkManagement#It.27s_All_KDE.27s_Fault.21 and start at the paragraph beginning "If you do not build from source" you should be good. Find the 'Grotto' (right?) connection as provided by both nm- applet and knetworkmanager and send me the qdbus output.
My qdbus output didn't look a lot like what's in the referenced web page, but I think I've got the editing figured out. And I could see no evidence that qdbus saw any of the dozen other neighborhood connections shown by nm-applet when I first started it up (interestingly, I can't figure out how to get back to that list, now that I'm connected). Do you want me to put this into bugzilla, too? -------------------------------------------------------------- Working connection using nm-applet: embelex:/home/john # /usr/bin/qdbus --system --literal org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerUserSettings /org/freedesktop/NetworkManagerSettings/0 org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerSettings.Connection.GetSettings [Argument: a{sa{sv}} {"802-11-wireless" = [Argument: a{sv} {"mode" = [Variant(QString): "infrastructure"], "seen-bssids" = [Variant(QStringList): {"00:1b:2f:46:e5:6c"}], "ssid" = [Variant(QByteArray): {71, 114, 111, 116, 116, 111}], "security" = [Variant(QString): "802-11-wireless-security"]}], "802-11-wireless-security" = [Argument: a{sv} {"key-mgmt" = [Variant(QString): "wpa-psk"]}], "connection" = [Argument: a{sv} {"uuid" = [Variant(QString): "336ae7ee-2fb2-462d-a460-274b015b69e3"], "id" = [Variant(QString): "Auto Grotto"], "type" = [Variant(QString): "802-11-wireless"], "timestamp" = [Variant(qulonglong): 1265393783]}]}] -------------------------------------------------------------- Nonworking using kde plasmoid: embelex:/home/john # /usr/bin/qdbus --system --literal org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerUserSettings /org/freedesktop/NetworkManagerSettings/0 org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerSettings.Connection.GetSettings [Argument: a{sa{sv}} {"802-11-wireless" = [Argument: a{sv} {"mode" = [Variant(QString): "infrastructure"], "ssid" = [Variant(QByteArray): {80, 104, 111, 101, 110, 105, 120, 32, 73, 73, 32, 85, 110, 105, 116, 32, 50, 48, 49, 49}]}], "connection" = [Argument: a{sv} {"autoconnect" = [Variant(bool): true], "id" = [Variant(QString): ""], "type" = [Variant(QString): "802-11-wireless"], "uuid" = [Variant(QString): "57208ef5-40a8-4eac-8831-23327111fa3a"]}], "ipv4" = [Argument: a{sv} {"dns-search" = [Variant(QStringList): {""}], "method" = [Variant(QString): "auto"]}]}] -------------------------------------------------------------- An interesting quirk is that when I tried to start the knetworkmanager, it wasn't found, and when I searched for it, rpm said NetworkManager-kde4.rpm was not installed. Maybe it was deleted by one of my zypper dup's? When I installed it, the icon was the one I recognize from all my previous efforts trying to get back onto wifi. Doesn't make any difference, though, as far as I can see. knm still doesn't work; to get back onto wifi, I had to kill it and restart nm-applet, which, again, instantly connected without issue. jp -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
