Re: [please help] NM not working in Ubuntu 6.1

Joan,

earlier someone advised you to take certain lines out
of /etc/network/interfaces.
As far as I know you have to take all lines pertaining to your wireless
device out (i.e., empty the file leaving only the "lo" device).
If you installed CVS by hand make sure you remove everything (make
uninstall) and reinstall the official Ubuntu 6.10 package
(0.6.3-2ubuntu6). Only if the devices really appear in the applet’s menu
you can be sure that NM has control over them.

And Dan, NM 0.7 is not packaged at all for Ubuntu, not in 6.10 and not
even in the devel branch Feisty.
http://packages.ubuntu.com/network-manager
It’s just that their /e/n/i precedence patch has caused a lot of
confusion.

That said CVS now works great again on my Feisty machine. I use it with
WPA2-PSK and all three VPN plugins, to my great pleasure. Perhaps I’m
lucky?
