I am experiencing difficulties with NetworkManager on a completely up-to-date Debian unstable, using the debs from http://people.ubuntu.com/~thom/network-manager/. I am running kernel version 2.6.9, HAL 0.4.2, DBus "0.22 +cvs.1098185846" (as mentioned earlier, it's the version from Thom's debs). I have an Intel EtherExpres 1000 (I think; it uses the e1000 driver, and it's eth0) and an Atheros 5211 wireless card (madwifi driver, CVS from 12/05/2004, it's ath0). Both are PCI devices. When I start NetworkManager, it does seem to work for my wired interface, but not my wireless one; i.e. it configures the wired, but not the wireless, and doesn't switch to the wireless if I unplug the wired.. Furthermore, NetworkManager begins spewing GLib errors about assertions failed: (all of these functions are in NetworkManagerAPList.c): nm_ap_list_copy_propertiess (line 431): assertion dest != NULL failed nm_ap_list_iter_new (line 587): assertion list != NULL failed nm_ap_list_unref (line 101): assertion list != NULL failed. immediately after start. Finally, despite having NetworkManagerInfo and NetworkManagerNotification running, I do not get a NetworkManager notification-area icon. I get the behavior described in http://mail.gnome.org/archives/networkmanager-list/2004-November/msg00025.html with regard ot the notification-area icon. Unlike the above situation, however, /sys/class/net/ath0/ and /sys/class/net/eth0/ are completely populated, including the 'device' links. And both devices show up fine in hal-device-manager. I would appreciate assistance in getting this working. Thank you. -- Adam Glasgall teferi wmute net adam simons-rock edu aglasgall gmail com "What is it to exist?
