Yeah, this needs doing and I have some ideas for it. I suppose we
should see if there's a way to physically cut power to the device if it
gets wedged too badly, which devices often do. Any ideas on how to do
that? There is some new kernel stuff in 2.6.35 and later that we can
try I think.

Hm, what's with the pppd persist option? Would this be helpful? In our
old system I have enabled this in /etc/ppp/options and in some situations
this was helpful. Sometimes we see "carrier lost" due to temporary bad signal
for example in a tunnel or while traveling in a train

Hi,
I'm using Network Manager as packed with Lucid (10.4) and when I woke the
laptop from sleep today the wireless can't be enabled. Wired still works
fine. wlan0 appears with ifconfig -a but the adapter doesn't respond to
function key + f2 which is supposed to enable it. There is no hardware
switch (Asus f3sv). I tried using what the acpi-support script does
(directly echoing into the state and power) in case the event wasn't being
propagated properly but had no luck.
This may not be a problem with Network Manager but I'm not sure who to ask.
Any suggestions? I'm stumped.
Thanks,
Ben

Hi,
I want to modify nm-applet to use the system connections by default instead of the user-based connections. I don't have any GTK+ experience, tried a little bit but no hope.
All I want to do is to invert the default state of the 'Available to all users' checkbox to True so that it comes toggled and the buttons are polkit-aware. I modified the glade file and added a property active which is 'True', but I have to trigger the relevant
callback in nm-connection-editor.c so that the UI is re-populated. Tried calling the toggled callback by hand or calling gtk_button_set_active() but nope. There are (editor->orig_scope == ) checks in the code which I think reverts the active state of the checkbox
back to False I don't know why.
Can someone help me? And will defaulting to system scope break things in NM?
Thanks
Ozan Caglayan
