Since networkmanager configured as above looks for /usr/local/etc/hosts, I adjusted the source to look at /etc/hosts (it already knew to look for /etc/resolv.conf). Run from the console, neworkmanager looks as though it connects to an ipv4 wired network (I've tried two different networks), modifies /etc/resolv.conf accordingly, but it does not actually connect -I cannot ping the router nor google.com. Dhcpcd run alone from the console connects without problems. This is the same problem I experienced using networkmanager-0.9.8.8 reported in another thread. I've attached the networkmanager debug output and the strace output, but neither seem to give a clue as to the problem - I believe that either networkmanager is trying to write something to /usr/local/etc that is in /etc (or vice versa) or there is some kind of linux-pam/polkit permissions error, but I cannot see evidence of either in the debug output. From the debug snippet below things look to have worked, but they didn't - any troubleshooting hints would be gratefully received.The x.x.x.x/0 bits are likely the problem. Let's investigate why that's happening especially since NetworkManager says it got the right prefix from dhcpcd. Would you mind applying the attached patch to your sources? Then re-run the test and reply with the output so we can debug a bit further.One more thing, when things aren't working, can you provide the output of: ip addr ip route
Thanks for the reply and the patch The patch applied cleanly, but unfortunately things still do not work - debug output attached. My system does not have the "ip" command, but the "route" command produces the following: $ route Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface default 10.180.20.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 10.180.20.1 * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 eth0 127.0.0.1 * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 lo Shouldn't that be 255.255.255.0?
