Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

I have recompiled without these options.

I have dbus 1.1.1 installed and my wpa_supplicant does support the -u
flag. However, this still does not explain why the wired tg3 connection
is not started. If you look at the logs, it even gets a DHCP lease but
NM does not realise this for some reason.

Any further suggestions to get wired ethernet working? Then I will work
on solving the wireless problem.

Thanks again,

Fred.
