Hi all,
I was once very happy in the land of NetworkManager, but recently it
became intermittent when connecting to WEP encrypted connections (would
occasionally hang). With unencrypted connections, the [i]scanning[/i]
icon disappears and the NetworkManager daemon stops. Yet, I'm still
connected, and so long as I go and manually edit /etc/resolv.conf, I can
surf happily. It's not an ideal situation.
This appears in /var/log/message

If I execute named from the command line, I get "named: capset failed:
Operation not permitted: please ensure that the capset kernel module is
loaded. see insmod(8)"
I've tried compiling a version of bind which doesn't try to grab more
privileges, using "rpmbuild --define 'config_options
--disable-linux-caps'
--rebuild /home/nreynolds/downloads/applications/bind-9.3.1-10_FC4.src.rpm" (and installing the resulting rpms, but that didn't fix the issue.
I've also tried standard knee-jerk things, like putting SELinux into
permissive mode, and re-labelling the file-system, that didn't work.
Has anyone got any ideas on how I can remedy this?
BTW, I'm using Fedora Core 4, and the NetworkManager packages:
NetworkManager-0.4-20.FC4.1, and NetworkManager-gnome-0.4-20.FC4.1.
Cheers :D
