Hallo Yves, it is not clear, what you are trying to do (and what does not work). Indeed, when NetworkManager starts, it will reset the state of the network interfaces. This is intended in version 0.9.8 and earlier (0.9.9 behaves differently). What do you mean with "manually established"? When you are using NetworkManager, you don't configure your interface manually, instead you use the means provided by NetworkManger. That is, you use nm-applet to configure "connections" (profiles) which then can be activated. Also, you might want NM to start automatically when starting the computer. You could do this with systemctl enable NetworkManager.service systemctl start NetworkManager.service Thomas On Wed, 2014-01-29 at 20:14 -0500, Yves S. Garret wrote:
Hello Nate, Thanks for writing back. I did what you instructed and this is the result of the command that you specified: # systemctl list-unit-files | grep -i network netctl network_connectio_at_home service enabled NetworkManager-dispatcher.service disabled NetworkManager-wait-online.service disabled NetworkManager.service disabled network-online.target static network.target static Whenever I bring up NetworkManager (not any other services), my manually established connection dies and I would need to go through re-establishing it anew. At first I was not getting NetworkManager to work as I wanted it to, which is why I tried messing with NetworkManager-wait-online (I'm new to ArchLinux and to the deeper portions of Linux internals, hence this decision out of frustration and not knowing what else to do.) If there is anything else that I'm missing, please let me know. I'll disable the wait-online, I don't think I need it. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Yves S.

At the library, there is no authentication. At home, I do have WAP authentication. Going from one to another is anything but smooth. I've been following this example online: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NetworkManager#Enable_NetworkManager_Wait_Online However, when I got to the part about NetworkManager-wait-online, I encountered these issues: http://bin.cakephp.org/view/998593295 Thoughts on how to fix this problem? Or, if you know of a better tutorial/guide, I'd love to hear about it. --Yves _______________________________________________ networkmanager-list mailing list networkmanager-list gnome org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
